   • 2025 July 8, Pete Muntean and Alexandra Skores, “TSA will no longer require all passengers to take shoes off at airport security checkpoints”, in CNN‎^[1]:

     The requirement for passengers to take their shoes off at TSA security checkpoints came nearly five years later due to “intelligence pointing to a continuing threat,” an official TSA history notes, following a foiled August 2006 terrorist plot to detonate liquid explosives onboard transatlantic flights. The TSA introduced its 3-1-1 liquids rule for carry-on luggage in response.

     Si bien la fecha del 7 de mayo parece haber desatado una carrera loca por la documentación, “antes de la fecha límite, la TSA ha estado trabajando intensamente con los estados, las aerolíneas, los aeropuertos, el Congreso y la industria de viajes para alentar el cumplimiento entre los viajeros”, dijo a CNN un portavoz de la Administración de Seguridad del Transporte.
