A former colleague had his shoes confiscated by TSA after they tested positive. This was despite TSA's running them through the x-ray feeling them, etc. Said former colleague owned a farm and walked past a fertilizer spreader on the way to get in his car.

TSA refused to clear the shoes based solely on the ETD. He arrived at the corporate meeting shoeless.
