The DHS announced a new policy on Tuesday, July 8th, which will allow passengers at domestic airports to keep their shoes on while passing through security at TSA checkpoints. This new policy is meant to make things more convenient for travelers while also streamlining the security process at TSA checkpoints, leading to lower wait times.

As of Tuesday, passengers at U.S. airports are no longer required to remove their shoes during the TSA screening process.

The Transportation Security Administration is rolling back its long-standing policy requiring passengers to remove shoes at checkpoints.
