Sen. Tammy Duckworth is publicly pressing the Transportation Security Administration to rescind its nationwide "shoes‑on" screening policy after an inspector general flagged a gap in shoe screening, calling the policy a "reckless act" and urging a return to more thorough screening. The sustained push — covered on national TV — frames a direct confrontation over whether current screening technology can adequately scan shoes.
