The DHS announced a new policy on Tuesday, July 8th, which will allow passengers at domestic airports to keep their shoes on while passing through security at TSA checkpoints. This new policy is meant to make things more convenient for travelers while also streamlining the security process at TSA checkpoints, leading to lower wait times.

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem suggested that changes to the Transportation Security Administration's restrictions on liquids in carry-on bags at airports may be made.
