TSA No Longer Requires Shoe Removal!

Last Updated : 07/09/2025

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has announced a welcome change for travelers: no more removing your shoes during TSA security screenings!

Unveiled on July 8, 2025, by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, this new policy aims to make the airport experience smoother and more efficient. For nearly two decades, the “shoes-off” rule has been a routine part of security procedures, implemented after the 2001 “shoe bomber” incident. But now, thanks to advancements in security technology and a multi-layered approach to airport safety, passengers can keep their shoes on.

It’s a clear move toward improving passenger comfort without compromising security. Just be sure to follow all other TSA guidelines, and always check official sources for the latest travel updates.
