TSA Says Sweat Can Trigger Extra Security Checks at U.S. Airports—What to Know
Heat waves are sweeping across the world and the summer sizzle continues in the United States, so it's not unexpected travelers may get a little sweaty when traveling through the airport. But it turns out, getting too sweaty might actually cause delays and trigger the need for extra security screenings. In fact, a passenger who is visibly perspiring might trigger the need for a wand screening or extra pat down, according to a report from CNN . 'Added moisture from a person's body can alter the density of clothing, so it is possible perspiration may cause our Advanced Imaging Technology machines to alarm,' a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) spokesperson told the network. 'If this occurs, the passenger may need to undergo additional screening, such as a pat-down in the area of the body where the [machine is] alarmed, to ensure there is no threat.' But while pat downs may make an already stressful environment even more so, security lines at U.S. airports might start to move a little faster now that the TSA will no longer require travelers to remove their shoes when they pass through security. And that change may leave travelers with a lot less to sweat about. 'Ending the 'Shoes-Off' policy is the latest effort DHS is implementing to modernize and enhance traveler experience across our nation's airports,' Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem said in a statement. 'We expect this change will drastically decrease passenger wait times at our TSA checkpoints, leading to a more pleasant and efficient passenger experience.' Noem added: "Thanks to our cutting-edge technological advancements and multi-layered security approach, we are confident we can implement this change while maintaining the highest security standards." A week after that announcement, Noem said she had started "questioning" the TSA's current liquid limitations in carry-on bags. But despite her comments, it may actually be years before travelers can take large liquids with them. Currently, travelers must limit liquids, gels, creams, pastes, and aerosols in their carry-on luggage to 3.4 ounces or less and store them in a quart-sized resealable bag, which may need to be placed separately in a bin. Travelers who are part of the agency's expedited security screening program TSA PreCheck are also limited to 3.4-ounces, but they are not required to remove liquids from their luggage during screening. Similarly, these travelers were not required to remove their shoes during security screening even before the new rule went into effect.

Teddy Swims' ‘Lose Control' Notches Record-Breaking 92nd Week on Billboard Hot 100
The endurance of Teddy Swims' 'Lose Control' hits new historic heights as the song logs a record-breaking 92nd week on the Billboard Hot 100. The single surpasses the run of Glass Animals' 'Heat Waves,' which ran up 91 weeks in 2021-22, for the most time spent on the chart dating to its Aug. 4, 1958, inception.

It led for a week in March 2024, and became the year's No. 1 song. It ranks at No. 11 on the latest list, dated May 31, 2025. The soulful smash has also amassed a record 63 weeks in the Hot 100's top 10. (Songs have generally logged longer runs on the chart, and at No. 1 and in the top 10, since the survey adopted electronically tracked Luminate data in November 1991.) Along the way, 'Lose Control,' on SWIMS Int./Warner Records, has also ruled the following Billboard charts: the all-format Radio Songs and Digital Song Sales surveys, Adult Contemporary, Adult Pop Airplay, Adult R&B Airplay and Pop Airplay. It also hit No. 2 on Adult Alternative Airplay and the top five on both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. 'Lose Control' has even outlasted two follow-up singles that each hit the Hot 100's top 40: 'The Door' (No. 24 peak, last October) and 'Bad Dreams' (No. 30, earlier this May). Both songs also reached the top 10 on Adult Pop Airplay and Pop Airplay. Another of Teddy Swims' hits, 'Are You Even Real,' with Giveon, topped Adult R&B Airplay in April. 'Teddy Swims is a once-in-a-generation talent who defies genres, making him truly unique in today's music landscape,' Warner evp of promotion and commerce Mike Chester told Billboard last year. 'When we began promoting 'Lose Control,' our journey was carefully planned. From the start, we noticed that the song was resonating in various pockets of culture, creating a strong and diverse fanbase.' The artist born Jaten Dimsdale, in Conyers Ga., in 1992, and who made his overall Billboard chart debut in 2021, was nominated for best new artist at the Grammy Awards this year. 'I love always watching your updates,' he mused of Billboard News' weekly recap of the Hot 100's top 10. 'It's like, 'Here comes Teddy Swims!' I hope you never stop saying that. I'm grateful.'
