This requires the premise that shoes are the only place that people hide explosives.
This premise is laughably stupid, as are the scumbags at the TSA who write these asinine directives.

Let me play Devil's advocate for the time being. You send everything you carry through the X-Ray. You take off your jacket, hat, etc. The only thing left that has any "space" or area on it would be your shoes. After that its just the clothes on your body and you.
