Suggestions?
LOL. You guys are having way too much fun.
Just to give you a little insight, remember last year when TSA supposedly finally got us all on the same sheet of music? TSA issued us a poster with pictures of shoes that would meet the special screening criteria. We had no problem with hiking boots, thick soled flip flops and other similar shoes. However, unfortunately, the poster depicted just about every type of shoe imaginable. Instead of clarifying the standard, it pretty much added to the confusion.
Since then, at least at my airport, we've decided that while some of the shoes are depicted on that stupid poster, they may not necessarily meet the special screening criteria. Took us a while to get away from screening all shoes, but to be honest, it seems that whenever we take a couple steps forward, we also end up taking one backwards. Uh, no pun intended.
Yeah, I'm somewhat frustrated with this screening criteria, but I'm paid to deal with it.
