»»TSA Requires Passengers To Put Their Shoes Directly on the X-ray Belt

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) informed that officers now will ask passengers to put their shoes directly on the X-ray belt instead of in a bin at the checkpoint.

“…This will help to declutter bins and give officers a better view of shoes coming through, as well as everything else. Our officers are seeing some pretty packed bins with shoes, electronics, wallets and other items, and when they can’t get a good look, a cluttered bin is more likely to get pulled aside for additional screening.
Nobody likes that. If you don’t hear the directions or put your shoes in the bin by accident, fear not - you won’t be sent back to the end of the line for a do-over…” TSA said.
