Well, since you're going to have to submit to it if you want to fly, why would you opt for making a big scene about a process that's only going to put you 90 seconds out of your way, if you don't take your shoes off that is? Making a scene only ends up making your stay at the checkpoint that much longer. I cannot tell you how many people I pull for continuous "wand raping" who spend so much time fussing about the process and demanding they be allowed to get their shoes, bags, etc. that I could have had them wanded and on their way by the time they finish, if they'd only let me do my job. The secondary screening process for non-shoe removal takes about 90 seconds, the secondary screening process for continuous takes about a minute longer, at least when I'm wanding it does. I do my job effectively, efficiently and rapidly since I have so many other "randoms" to select.
