Security at Birmingham International Airport?

Question

Are they still requiring passengers to remove their shoes and put them through x-rays at Birmingham International Airport?

Personally, I think this is a good idea as there are probably a fair few terrorists out there.

Answer 1

Yes, they are. I had to take my mom to the Birmingham International Airport just before Thanksgiving, and just recently picked her up. Both times I saw security ask people to remove their shoes. They have a fairly small airport, but their security is great. They are following all of the governments airport regulations. Make sure you follow the rule about keeping fluids and gels in one quart size zip-lock bag. I saw a few people have to leave line and walk around asking people if they had an extra bag. You can check their website for their rules, plus they have a link to TSA's website. Just look under passenger info.
