Speaker 1 (00:00):
So this is really good news for summer travelers if
you're traveling this summer. Almost after two decades, okay, after
almost two decades, you can finally go through TSA security
checkpoints at the airport without taking your shoes off. What
a relief. The TSA, the Transportation Security Administration, send an

(00:21):
memo to its staff nationwide to mandate that passengers who
have a real ID, we'll be able to go through
security detectors with footwear on. People that are traveling without
a real ID will still have to take the shoes off.
To take your shoes off. Rule was first instituted back
in two thousand and six. After a passage you don't

(00:42):
have a real ID. What they talk about, Well, you know,
you got to have a driver's license, a passport.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
It's a specific a require. Now, Yeah, it has to
have a star or something like that on the driver's license. Right,
So that's that's the type of ID that they're accepting
now or passport.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
And all that.

Speaker 2 (01:04):
So they wanted to be a real ID and then
you go through and so now they're saying shoes off.

Speaker 3 (01:13):
That this is a great, this is great.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
Why do you say that because it's feet we don't
need to see.

Speaker 3 (01:19):
Out in public.

Speaker 2 (01:20):
It's some feet out here. It's some feet out here
and you're going through security.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Wait, that toe had shrapnel on it.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
I know where's you're in, junior. Will you let us
know when you go somewhere?

Speaker 1 (01:46):
Well to taking shoes off rule, as I was saying,
was first instituted in two thousand and six after a
passenger tried to light a bomb in his shoes on
a flight from Paris to Miami. Previously, only individuals enrolled
in t s A preach were allowed to keep their
shoes on during screening. So let's hope this helps people
get through the security more quickly. And Steve, do you

(02:09):
go through TSA and you know, take your shoes off
before you board a plane? I know you fright privately?
Fly privately? Did I say fry fly privately? But sometimes well.

Speaker 3 (02:21):
There are still places that you have to take your
shoes off. They don't care. But like if you have
Global entry, yeah you don't have to do that.

Speaker 1 (02:31):
Mm hmm, come on, stunner, let's go. Jor.

Speaker 3 (02:36):
Global Entry is a card that you have to apply
for and go through an interview process and then they
give you and then so you don't have to like
take your computer out the bag, You don't have to
take your shoes off, just walk through the thing. But
you know you ain't have to worry about that if
you don't go nowhere. Yeah, you know you get to

(02:59):
leave your hat on. Mmmm.

shoes off.
