Typical TSA.
--> from the URL above:
"You are required to remove your shoes before you enter the walk-through metal detector. All types of footwear must be placed on the X-ray machine to be screened. If you do not comply with Security Officers, you will not be allowed to board your flight."
--> ON the X-ray machine? yeah, that will be effective
