TSA is now allowing people to keep their shoes on during a security screening at some airports. It is not clear when that policy takes effect at LAX.

US travelers may soon no longer have to worry about removing their shoes to go through standard airport security checkpoints, a change that will likely speed up screening for airline passengers.

For the first time in almost 20 years, travelers are no longer required to take off their shoes during security screenings at certain U.S. airports.
