Gasp! How dare you question the security wisdom and expertise and authority of our nation's security screeners. I for one feel safer as a passenger in our air passenger system knowing that you were subject to extra screening by your refusal to remove your shoes.
They only do that 'for your safety'. Who knows -- someday they may actually find a dangerous item in somebody's shoes!
