After nearly 20 years of ignorant tyranny, TSA take steps to change security tests
For the first time in nearly 20 years, travelers may not be asked to take off their shoes during security offers at American airports.
The Transport Security Department is looking to abandon the additional security step, which for years has destroyed anyone who is going through American airports, according to media reports.
If implemented, it will put an end to Delegate the security examination It was developed nearly 20 years ago, several years after the failed “Al -Qaqfa shoe” of Richard Reed to take a trip from Paris to Miami in late 2001.
Access to the newsletter portal to travel was first to report that changing the security examination was coming. ABC News was sent to an internal note to TSA staff last week, which states that the new policy allows travelers to keep their shoes during the standard offers in many American airports, starting on Sunday. It would expand all airports soon.
The memo said that the plan is that the change in all American airports will happen soon.
Travelers I have already been able to avoid additional safety requirements if they participated in the TSA Prechack program, which costs about 80 dollars for five years. The program allows airlines passengers to see the examination process without removing shoes, belts or light jackets.
Travelers of 75 years old or older and those who are 12 years old or less have to remove shoes at security checkpoints.
TSA has not officially confirmed the change of the reported security examination yet.
A TSA spokesman said in a statement on Tuesday. “Any possible updates for our safety process will be released through official channels.”
TSA began in 2001 when President George W. Bush signed legislation to establish two months after the September 11 attacks. The agency included monitoring federal airports that replaced the airlines of private companies to deal with security.
Over the years, TSA has continued to search for ways to enhance its security measures, including the test Facial recognition technique And implementation A real knowledge requirements.
One of the most prominent friction points for travelers is TSA when examining checkpoints. Trump’s Minister of Transport Sean Duffy asked the audience in a social media post in April, which would make travel more smooth.
The next day, Duffy posted on x This, “It is very clear that TSA is a travel complaint No. 1. It falls under the Ministry of Internal Security. I will discuss this with Sec_noem.”
She said that her minister of Internal Security Christie will host a press conference on Tuesday evening at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport to announce a new TSA policy “that would make the examination easier for passengers, improve passengers satisfaction, and reduce waiting times.”
Trump launched a TSA official David Picosk In January in the middle of a second term, although he was appointed by Trump during his first term at the White House. Pekoske has been reset by President Joe Biden.
There was no reason to leave Picosk. The position of official remains vacant, according to TSA.
