TSA is unveiling new procedures to allow passengers to keep their shoes on at standard airport screening checkpoints, people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal.

The big change hasn’t been officially announced.

“TSA and DHS are always exploring new and innovative ways to enhance the passenger experience and our strong security posture. Any potential updates to our security process will be issued through official channels,” the agency told the Journal in a statement.

Tsa is probably the largest jobs program in the US

Gotta admit, I thought about joining. The pay and benefits are pretty fair after the first two years. I lean too far chaotic good/neutral to be in a lawful org. I'd get fired for letting people slide and ignoring bullshit rules.

Wake me up when TSA eats itself whole.

Meanwhile, the latest statistics show 40% of commercial pilots are drunk at the stick... 😅

This is fine. Everything's fine.
