Just a slight quibble: the wand metal detector is much more sensitive than the walk-through. For instance, underwire in a bra will generally not set off the walk-through metal detector but will definitely set off the hand-held wand metal detector.
But I agree with you that shoe removal is a waste of everyone's time and money.
