Speaker 1 (00:00):
For years, only those with TSA pre check could bypass
the hole. Take your shoes off and place them in
the bin routine. It's nice ease.

Speaker 2 (00:07):
Of going through and not having to wait extra time.
It's awfully convenient to not have to.

Speaker 1 (00:13):
But starting today, several TSA agents and travelers tell me
everyone can now keep their shoes on during screenings. As
the policy has been updated.

Speaker 3 (00:21):
It should speed up the process. I think it's you know,
everyone should be able to keep their shoes on.

Speaker 4 (00:25):
It's hard for families when you're juggling little ones and
or elderly or had lots of baggage. Just one more
step that maybe we don't need.

Speaker 2 (00:35):
It's gross to take off your shoes.

Speaker 5 (00:37):
Yeah, I feel pretty good about it, especially when I'm
