There's no personal attack at all: You clearly have poor reading comprehension skills, since you take evidence that proves TSA's shoe carnival is pointless as supporting the shoe carnival.
Shoes are a viable threat, the fact that they have not been used elsewhere (or here for that matter) is not an indicator as to the viability of the method.
Please answer these questions, then:
If shoes are a viable threat, why have no planes been brought down by shoe bombs in countries that don't have a mandatory shoe carnival?
If shoes are a viable threat, why were no planes brought down before August 2006, when the shoe carnival was not mandatory?
