Activists praised the decision not to force travelers to take off their shoes at the internal American airports and considered it a good step, while others warned against the terrorist groups’ exploitation of such gaps.
It is known that millions of travelers around the world are forced to take off their shoes at airports before entering the security inspection gate, in moments that may be the most disturbing in travel trips.
According to the 9/20025/7 episode of the “Networks” program, the process of forcing travelers began to take off the shoes at airports after a British man named Richard Reed at 2001 tried to detonate a plane during its flight from Paris To Miami, American.
Read was working for an account Al QaedaAnd he put the explosives in his shoes, but he failed to detonate them, and the American authorities arrested him at Boston Airport, after which there would be bases in the airports of the world and the inspection becomes not limited to the bags only.
Since then, airport inspection has become shoes, belts, watches and phones, a matter that creates a great confusion for travelers in the inspection areas.
Despite the evolution of the Inspection techniques with tomography, scanning, and millimeter waves, facial and fingerprint recognition systems, the policy of shoes in America remained present, until the Ministry of Internal Security decided to cancel it. But this does not deny that some travelers may ask them to take off their shoes for security reasons.
Praise and warning
Activists interacted with the new decision, which they considered positively, as Jason wrote, “Canceling the obligation to remove shoes is a positive step towards facilitating travel procedures. I hope that other measures will be followed that reduce pressure on families and speed the inspection movement, as safety is important, but the convenience of travelers must also be taken into account.”
Uday also wrote, “I wish all airports canceled this story!
Karim also wrote, “The one is going out after the inspection, which is his boot, his belt, the jacket, and the preservation, like the thief who caught the text of the night and struck him with a death.”
As for Hisham, he had another opinion, as he wrote, “Safety is necessary.
There are airports that do not obligate travelers to take off the shoe if the device does not perfect, or if the security officer does not doubt it.
