If your shoes meet some profile, fine then, search the shoes. But why does that extend to a wanding of the rest of the person's body, after the offending shoes have been scanned? Especially since the wand and frisk puts the passenger at the highest risk of intentional or unintentional physical abuse, it seems like a purely punitive measure.
Folks you need to understand that your asking the wrong people this questions. The procedure in SOP states we screen you if you refuse to take off these types of shoes. It doesn't give us a reason why a entire screening is called for, it just says to do it.
Most of us have come here to help give information that can help you understand the process better, to help protect yourselves, and make it easier for you. We can't change policy and all the complaints in the world from frontline staff doesn't seem to do a thing. If you want to see changes, you need to make that push and stop coming here and just calling TSA higher-ups names.
Most of us seem to be glad to answer and clear up the current procedure questions and such. But we can't make changes to the policies.
