Ummmmmmmmmm... yes, I know "this" because we have done DAL-MSY w/ the same footware, with no problems, on 3 previous roundtrips to MSY in the past 10 weeks. Tevo sandals w/ nylon straps and a 1/2 inch rubber sole are not 3 foot steel knitting needles!

And IF they 'alarmed' the mag, then they could have been checked, NO?!

Instead, the guy slows down the entire line making everyone (not just us) take off every kind of shoe.

Sheeeeeeeeeesh... and for such outstanding screening professionalism he most certainly deserved an upside to knock some sense into him! And the "...but, did you know..." defense of such umitigated idiocy is why this thread was started to begin with! ^
