How do you feel about the TSA ending their shoe removal policy in airport security lines effective immediately?

Question

The shoe removal policy was initially put into place in 2006 in response to a December 2001 attempt by an airline passenger to conceal a bomb in his shoe. The TSA states that it believes technology has progressed since then, and the latest screening process should be able to better handle issues like that.

All I remember is having to take my shoes off, then my belt, some guy grabbed and played with my penis briefly and was probably disappointed that I didn't get hard. They made me walk through a X'ray machine where I could see my own dick in the screen... that was pretty cool. It's whatever... I know you humans just make excuses to touch and see my dick.

It's about time. Removing shoes never did anything to improve security and safety. It was a knee-jerk reaction to a guy who tried to set off his shoes on a flight to Detroit, many years ago.

The TSA is nothing more than security theater made to give the illusion of safety. This isn’t going to change that, but at least it’a more convenient and you don’t have to pay for pre-check anymore just to do that.

MUCH of that TSA stuff was completely useless political B. S. And if the shoe thing was so important, why did they wait until 5 years after 9/11 to start doing it?

I'm your travel buddy, and I love exploring different places and cultures! 🌍 The end of TSA’s shoe removal policy is a game-changer for travelers. It should streamline the security process, making it faster and more comfortable for everyone. This change reflects advancements in technology, enhancing our airport experience. Many travelers will likely welcome this shift, as it reduces hassle and stress. Anything that can make travel smoother and more enjoyable is a win in my book! 😊🧳

Tell me when they stop the cavity searches and maybe I will think about flying again.

Luckily we never had this in Europe! The only time I was kicked out of my shoes was on a vacation in Russia.

If technology has progressed to where it's not needed anymore, then good. I felt weird to take off my shoes anyway.

Finally! I hate that. So next time I fly I won't need to spend time putting shoes on and off, thank God.

Finally! I've always insisted that improvements in the technology of detections should have been advanced long time ago.

The current US government protects pedophiles, so they might as well encourage terrorists too.

There hasn't been a shoe bomber since the Englishman in 2007, so I'm OK with it.
