I know, like I said you are preaching to the choir on some things. Just trying to be a little more civil. Remember you are in the company of the local grunts here. Preaching about how bad the agency is and what should be done really goes nowhere. No one from TSA has the power to do anything. We try to do our best for the areas we work at.

Maybe instead of venting and spewing venom you could give us some best practices you have seen during your travels. For the most part the shoe policy is what it is, I don't agree with airports that do not follow the SOP.

I ask for intelligent constructive ideas. Spiff, I know you are well versed in the WTMD and X-Ray systems, we have had some very productive conversations and I think your view could help some of us get little ideas done.
