While streamlining airport security sounds appealing, rolling back established safety protocols raises legitimate concerns about maintaining aviation security standards. The original shoe bomber threat that prompted this policy hasn't disappeared, and relaxing screening procedures could create vulnerabilities that terrorists might exploit. Enhanced technology is helpful, but physical inspection remains a crucial security layer.
