I guess all we can do is to stay away from those newly fertilzed lawns on our way to the airport.
Unless these people's shoes were caked with mud/dirt/ANFO (Ammonium Nitrate/Fuel Oil
), I cannot imagine the TSA person being able to predict they would cause an alarm at the puffer.
I think the TSA person was predicting they might alarm at the WTMD due to metal shanks, which would indeed have to be resolved. However, no WTMD alarm, then shoes should always stay on and those who require their removal under such conditions are filthy little shoe perverts who deserve a one-way trip to Guantanamo for treason.
