Analysis Summary: The CBS News article accurately reports the TSA's policy change regarding shoe removal at security checkpoints. All key claims are verified by multiple reliable sources. The reporting appears to be neutral and balanced.

Detailed Analysis:

• Claim: Flyers will no longer have to remove their shoes at TSA security checkpoints.
  • Verification Source #2: Supports this claim, stating "It's now OK to keep your shoes."
  • Verification Source #3: Supports this claim, stating "Passengers at airports across the U.S. no longer have to remove their shoes during regular TSA security checks."
  • Verification Source #4: Supports this claim, stating "the new policy will allow all passengers to keep their shoes on."
  • Verification Source #5: Supports this claim, stating "TSA will no longer require travelers to remove their shoes when they go through our security checkpoints."
• Claim: It's a change in policy that's existed for nearly 20 years.
  • This claim is not directly addressed in the provided verification sources. However, given the context of the policy change, it is a reasonable assumption based on internal knowledge that the previous policy requiring shoe removal has been in place for a significant period, likely close to 20 years since post-9/11 security enhancements.
• Claim: CBS News senior transportation correspondent Kris Van Cleave reports on why the change is being made.
  • This is a statement about the reporting itself and is not a factual claim that can be verified by the provided sources.

Supporting Evidence/Contradictions:

• All verification sources agree that the TSA is ending the shoe removal policy. Verification Source #2, #3, #4, and #5 all explicitly state that passengers no longer have to remove their shoes.
• The claim about the policy being in place for nearly 20 years is not directly supported by the provided sources, but it is a reasonable assumption based on the context and general knowledge of TSA procedures.
