Why should passengers have to adjust themselves to different shoe removal practices at different airports?

Robodeer, have you thought about what you seem to be saying?
It sounds like:
"Some U.S. Post Offices won't mail your letter unless you put the stamp on the upper left corner of the envelope. Other U.S. Post Offices are OK with the stamp on the upper right corner of the envelope. You people would have a much easier time if you you just go with the flow and find out what each post office's policy is before mailing a letter. If you resist complying with the whimsy of each individual postal clerk, you're being unreasonably paranoid and making trouble for yourself and for others who are in line to mail letters."

Can't you see how stupid that sounds? Why do you seem to think that inconsistencies between different airports is acceptable?
