My shoes are
0.75" in thickness at thickest point, yet I am still sent for groping at many airports. I don't care what other Pax do, I care what the overpaid, poorly trained screeners are doing wrong.

My shoes do
NOT meet the profile. Thus being sent for groping is 100% retaliatory.
Regardless of "profile", the entire policy is idiotic. Shoe thickness is
NOT an identifier of a credible threat.
