I take them off while making a point not to put my feet on the floor and rubbing my buggered knee. They take my shoes, put them in a tray and run them through the xray. Comes back clean, they have me put them back on.....
why did you take your shoes off with a medical condition? if your shoes tested negative on the swab, that's it. the tso's and the fsd were flat out wrong

see this (look at page 3) and carry a copy with you for when you have to deal with the tsa
