I can't tell you how many times, passenger look me in the eye and say, "These shoes do not fit the profile," when it's clear that they do.


This is the retaliatory part.
Getting sent to secondary is not retaliatory, it's good screening. Profiled shoes need screened. It is your choice how that screening is to be handled. Your choice - to removed then and get them screened via x-ray or go through secondary to get them xrayed or swabbed.
