As of Tuesday, passengers at U.S. airports are no longer required to remove their shoes during the TSA screening process.

Kristi Noem, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, which oversees the Transportation Security Administration, announced the change in a press conference on July 8. The new TSA policy went into effect immediately. “TSA will no longer require travelers to remove their shoes when they go through our security checkpoint," Noem said.

The days of taking your shoes off during security screenings at U.S. airports is reportedly coming to a close.
