U.S. Has No Plans to End Requirement Travelers Remove Shoes at Airport Security

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Tuesday that technology currently available doesn't allow screeners to adequately examine what is in someone's shoes while the person is wearing them.

While that could change one day, for now the Transportation Security Administration doesn't have plans to end the shoe-removal requirement, which was implemented after Richard Reid tried but failed to ignite a shoe bomb on a U.S.-bound trans-Atlantic jetliner in 2001. Napolitano spoke in a live online video chat with travelers about the Obama administration's aviation security efforts.

Generic Viagra can help with sexual activity. Viagra works on some of the muscles in your penis that help control the blood flow (when we're teens, the control over these muscles isn't always perfect which is why erections would sometimes pop up at inconvenient moments). Cialis encourages these muscles to let more blood flow into the penis when the time is right.
