Shoe removal after age 65 ?
My DH thinks he read that one does NOT have to remove shoes when going through Airport Security if one is older than 65. He thinks it is a new ruling. Does anyone know if this is accurate for International Flights ?

75, not 65. Also no shoe removal if you're approved for PreCheck and you're flying on a participating airline & airport.

Avalon, it is in effect as of now. I flew on the 23rd and the guy at security was calling out -if you are over 75 you can leave your shoes on.
This was at IAD in DC.

I heard the over 75 exclusion last week, so I assume it is in effect. Not sure I approve of the exclusion, but it looks to be in effect.

It was in effect at least back in July, when I flew PHX-ORD-PHX with my mother. There were signs about it in the security checkpoint areas and she was able to go through without removing her shoes.
