US airports end shoe removal rule for security screening after 20 years ...Middle East

The shoe removal rule was implemented in 2006 following the arrest of Richard Reid, an Al-Qaeda member who attempted to detonate explosives hidden in his shoes on a Paris-to-Miami flight in 2001. Reid is currently serving a life sentence in a US prison.
