Stupid Americans.
Indeed. One can "connect" from a precleared airport like Vancouver to Seattle going through normal Canadian screening - NOT requiring the removal of shoes, shirts, underpants, ect... - and then sit next to you on an aircraft after you've been molested by the TSA.
Absolutely makes no sense to endure the shoe and shirt nonsense.
