00:00We have some very exciting news to announce that today we have started a new
00:05no-shoes policy with the Department of the Transportation Security
00:10Administration. TSA will no longer require travelers to remove their shoes
00:15when they go through our security checkpoints. We are very confident that
00:19we can continue to provide hospitality to folks and for American travelers and
00:23for those visiting our country while maintaining the same standard of security
00:27for passengers and for our homeland. The key to our approach is layered security.
00:32Passengers will still pass through multiple layers of screening. They'll also go
00:37through identity verification and in fact TSA has recently experienced some
00:42fantastic success with implementing Real ID. As you know Real ID was put into
00:48statute over 20 years ago and we recently put that into place that it went
00:53seamlessly. In fact right now we are experiencing over 94% compliance with
00:59passengers who come through our airports and screening processes with Real ID
01:04compliant identification. With this no-shoes policy we anticipate that Americans
01:11and travelers and those coming into our country will be very excited that they
01:15will no longer have to remove their shoes. The one thing that I will say is that
01:19doesn't mean that there won't be times once in a while where someone will have
01:23to remove their shoes. If they get put into a different situation or need
01:27additional layers of screening where that may be asked of them. But
01:31overwhelmingly the policy will be that no longer will that be required of
01:35every single person that comes to a checkpoint.
01:38Alright.
