The Transportation Security Administration will now allow passengers to leave their shoes on, but security screening is still in place at airports.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem will announce Tuesday afternoon that airline passengers no longer have to remove their shoes while going through security checks run by the Transportation Security Administration.

The TSA will no longer require passengers to remove their shoes during airport security screenings. Kristi Noem, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), announced the news at a July press conference that the nearly 20-year rule will now be lifted.

After nearly two decades, passengers going through airport security in the United States will no longer have to take their shoes off.

For the first time in almost 20 years, travelers will no longer be required to take off their shoes during security screenings at U.S. airports.
