No More Shoe Removal! Great News for Travelers to the USA

Shoes worn by a traveler passing through an airport metal detector, reflecting the new streamlined TSA policy.

Fantastic news for all you travelers heading to the United States! Starting July 8, 2025, the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has announced that passengers will no longer be required to remove their shoes during security screening at airport checkpoints!

For years, taking off shoes has been one of those steps that many travelers found inconvenient and time-consuming, especially during peak travel periods. This change is a significant improvement that will help make the security process much quicker and smoother.

Why the Change?

This policy update is a result of advanced screening technologies and enhanced multi-layered security measures. The TSA is now confident that they can maintain the highest security standards without the need for passengers to remove their footwear.

The shoe removal rule was originally implemented in 2006, following an attempted bomb plot using explosives hidden in shoes. Previously, only TSA PreCheck travelers were exempt. Now everyone benefits!

Get Ready for Easier Travel

  • Have your documents ready: Keep passport, visa, and boarding pass accessible.
  • Follow liquid rules: Use 100ml (3.4oz) containers in a clear quart-sized zip-top bag.
  • Be mindful of prohibited items: Ensure no dangerous or banned objects are in your bags.

This change will not only reduce the time you spend at the airport but also enhance the overall convenience and speed of your travel experience.
