I love the "height requirement."
My experience has been that the shoe fetish is much stronger in CA than anywhere else. This is the only state where I have been told to remove my shoes. Somehow, they are a threat in CA, but not in NY. I don't get it.
Most recent shoe removal order (order is the correct term, there was no suggestion involved), the SAN Commuter Terminal. Fortunately, the screener at LAX T4 had some common sense and did not require me to de-shoe.
