As of July 8 you will no longer have to take your shoes off at RSW or any U.S. airport security checkpoints. “TSA will no longer require travelers to remove their shoes when they go through our security checkpoint," said Kristi Noem, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Tuesday that the mandate for passengers to remove their shoes at screening is over.
While shoes can now stay on at airport security, the following items still need to be removed from your body or luggage: Additionally, any carry-on liquids, gels and aerosols still must abide by the "3-1-1" rule: It is also important to empty miscellaneous items from your pockets, such as keys and wallets.
Most passengers had been required to remove their footwear at checkpoints since 2006, a policy later eased only for members of trusted traveler programs.
