I have traveled around the world and NO other country requires travelers to do the time-wasting and inconsistently-applied shoe dance at the security gates.

What stemmed from a years-ago incident has gone out of control.

Where I have not been made to do the Shoe Fly Dance:
australia
france
netherlands
uk
mexico
canada

Any other travelers have opinions about this? I blieve this is the TSA going AWOL again.
