Mats,

1) Do you mind if screeners suggest taking off certian shoes? Such as ones we know will make a person ring or we know meet the 1" rule. I know the 1" rule is a little much but has to be enforced for the time being. But we should tell you why we're making the suggestion on why you should remove them though.

2) It's really weird that photo idea has to be shown so many times. At my airport, you might show it to the ticket checker but you will show it at the gate to the ticket agent. The ID is only asked for once in the checkpoint and its only when a ETD alarms.

I dont know much about why so many airports ask for ID, so I cant really comment on that, but Im willing to ask about it.

3) I would say no, because it would make it worse. At that point they would want us to sample every bag. So xray, then random bag it proably the best way.

4) Eletronic arent supposed to be turned on to my understanding and I havent read the SOP in about two months, so I should review but I could have sworn that it said not to do that. Of course at my airport we do have you turn on cameras you want taken around if it has to be on to see through it, but other then that, items arent turned on.

5) Could you maybe give me a better idea of what your saying here. I really don't understand.
