Both TSA and the FBI said there hasn't even been an attempt at a shoe bombing since Richard Reid. What does that mean, they have found NOTHING in shoes.

If explosives are in both shoes, a screener couldn't tell that there an explosives in it.

The only real ways to detect explosives are the ETD and the puffers. Just do either of those and you eliminate the possiblity of pax bringing explosives on planes. And it's not like they couldn't bring explosives on elsewhere.

On top of that, cargo isn't really screened, so all I have to do is express mail explosives with an altitude detonator and the plane goes boom. That's a much more credible threat, yet TSA is busy with the great sharp and pointy object search and it's shoe fetish.
