STORYLINE:
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ALMOST 20 YEARS, TRAVELERS MAY NO LONGER HAVE TO TAKE THEIR SHOES OFF DURING SECURITY SCREENINGS AT U.S. AIRPORTS.
TSA, OR THE TRANSPORTATION SECURITY ADMINISTRATION, IS LOOKING TO ABANDON THE ADDITIONAL SECURITY STEP THAT WAS PUT IN PLACE AFTER “SHOE BOMBER” RICHARD REID’S FAILED ATTEMPT TO TAKE DOWN A FLIGHT FROM PARIS TO MIAMI IN LATE 2001.
ABC NEWS REPORTED ON AN INTERNAL MEMO SENT TO TSA OFFICERS LAST WEEK THAT STATES THE NEW POLICY ALLOWS TRAVELERS TO KEEP THEIR SHOES ON DURING STANDARD SCREENINGS.
TRAVELERS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO SKIRT THE EXTRA SECURITY REQUIREMENT IF THEY PARTICIPATE IN THE TSA PRECHECK PROGRAM, WHICH COSTS AROUND $80 FOR FIVE YEARS.
TSA BEGAN IN 2001 WHEN PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH SIGNED LEGISLATION FOR ITS CREATION TWO MONTHS AFTER THE 9/11 ATTACKS.
OVER THE YEARS, TSA HAS CONTINUED TO LOOK FOR WAYS TO ENHANCE ITS SECURITY MEASURES, INCLUDING TESTING FACIAL RECOGNITION TECHNOLOGY AND IMPLEMENTING REAL ID REQUIREMENTS.
