On paper, shoe removal may be optional.

In practice, if I don't take off my shoes at SFO, I will be escorted to secondary, where I will have to take off my shoes.

Are those rubber mats any cleaner than the carpet floor?

(Of course SFO's TSA are private-contractor "great pretenders")

Same at LAX T6, but only when when supervisor "Michael(plus five digit number that I do not have nearby at this time)" is incharge. As he said to me, "You forfeit your 4th Amendment rights when you pass throught the magnometer"

Something to ponder...

If you ignore their "suggestion", you automatically go to secondary, even if you don't beep.
