U.S. travelers can now keep their shoes on at airport security, thanks to a new policy announced by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

WINDSOR LOCKS, Conn. — Travelers passing through airport security across the United States will no longer be required to remove their shoes, following a policy change announced Tuesday by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.

The move is part of a broader initiative to modernize airport operations and streamline the Transportation Security Administration’s (TSA) screening process. Noem said advancements in security technology and updated procedures make the change possible.

Travelers like Malina Gangadin greeted the news with relief and enthusiasm.

“Oh my gosh yes, I’m so glad I don’t have to—bare dogs out inside of the airport,” Gangadin said. “I’d be so mad. I’m just glad I get to keep my shoes on, my feet like my shoes.”

Andre Riendeau of Terryville noted the change will make travel significantly easier for him.

“I think this is great. As someone with a bad back, not having to bend over and take my shoes off is great,” Riendeau said.

The revised policy is expected to reduce wait times at security checkpoints and ease some of the frustrations travelers associate with air travel.

“People are taking their shoes off, it takes time,” Henry Berglewicz said. “They’re putting them back on. They’re looking for their luggage, so it’s a much better thing.”

While some travelers initially expressed concerns about whether the new rule might compromise safety, officials assured the public that the change is backed by improved technology and security.

“I feel like it should be a lot easier to just be able to walk through and have everything scanned,” Gangadin said. “So now that they’re actually implementing that in policy, I find that to be really fascinating.”
