Two days ago I flew out of MCI. When the guy told me to take my shoes off I told him they didn't set off the metal detectors. He told me to take them off. I told him the airport was a national laughingstock because they made evryine reomve their shoes. He called for a supervisor. Supervisor never came over and I didn't get groped- probably because I did take them off. At least I jerked his chain.
Next trip I'm bringing a print-out of the TSA Web site section on shoes.
