Why We Take Off Our Shoes in the United States but not in Israel Anyone who’s flown in the United States knows about TSA security. We take off our coats, avoid liquids, and take off our shoes before going through security. We have a no-fly list based on names. These are reactions to specific threats.

It’s rare that the Academy Award nominations are announced without some sort of controversy or pushback, but the choices for the 92nd Oscars felt especially designed to annoy audiences. Sure, there were some amazing nominees up there, from Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite to Greta Gerwig’s Little Women, but it was hard to overlook how this was yet another year with an all-male director line-up and 19 out of the 20 acting nominees were white....
