America is great-ish again: “The Transportation Security Administration is rolling out new procedures to allow passengers to keep shoes on while passing through standard airport screening checkpoints, according to people familiar with the matter.”

One guy tried to smuggle in explosives in his shoes, Richard Reid, the shoe-nibomber, back in December 2001. That led to two decades of millions upon millions of air travelers having to take off their shoes and have them run through the scanner. Back in April, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy observed, “It’s very clear that TSA is the #1 travel complaint.”

Reid is spending the rest of his life in ADX Florence.
