Question:

Anyone been to ORD the last couple of days? At the AA gates (I don't remember about the UA gates), they have the little shoe box device that you can put your shoe on that rings to alert you that you should take off your shoes because of the metal content.

Do they still have them there? Are they making you take off your shoes no matter what? ORD has been one of the best airports as far as domectic security is concerned - just want a report before I head out there on Thursday.
