Not to belabor a point made here time and time again but at what stage does sanity once again rule??
We’re now reduced to measuring shoe thickness with micrometers.
One potential...and I might add unsuccessful... shoe-bomber in history. And he was thwarted by pax aboard his flight.
Five hundred million+ shoes examined since then with no other shoe bombs found.
