We saw on Gate Access that the TSA will be phasing out the requirement to remove your show to go through the security check points at airports.
Gate Access believes the coming change is due to politics, not security. Following complaints from Congress, TSA is making changes to expedite screening. Hopefully, for their sake to forestall the idea of killing the agency.
The only wrinkle would be if you do not have a Real ID, you would still have to remove your shoes.
