Lowes_Man,
I'll do that if they request it or if they are in their bare feet. Problem is, I have to carry all your stuff over with me when we come to the wanding pit. Techinally, we can't let you touch your items before the process is done.
So pretty much, I have to call a screener if they are avaible to run the shoes and stay with you and your stuff, or I have to move you and your stuff closer to the xray to do that.
I personally don't have a problem with it. But I can see where a supervisor might get upset, because it's not techinally a procedure we are supposed to do, and we get in trouble for thinking.
