DHS Releases Humorous Video Announcing Passengers Can Keep Shoes On During Airport Security

This rule came in 2006 after the “Shoe Bomber” Richard Reid, who tried to hide and then detonate explosives hidden in his shoes on a flight from Paris to Miami in December 2001.

This was a great decision that should have come long ago to a largely pointless rule. 

I’m not sure how much support such a bill would have, with Democrats often standing in the way of sense. 

The Trump team and the GOP have a lot on their plates, but if they could take this a little further, they could bring long-needed change. They’ve shown a willingness with DOGE to try to rectify nonsense. If they could do that with the TSA, they might walk away with the elections in 2026 and have a much better system.
