The TSA is now allowing travelers to wear shoes through airport security, ending a rule in place since 2006. Here's what to know in Michigan.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – In a major shift to airport security protocol, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has ended the long-standing requirement for most passengers to remove their shoes at U.S. airport checkpoints. The change, effective immediately, was announced by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on July 8.

The new policy aims to increase hospitality for travelers and streamline the TSA security checkpoint process, leading to lower wait times.
