From the TSA website: "Disposable booties or slippers may be worn through the checkpoint to help protect your feet, but they must be disposed of prior to leaving the screening area."

So, could I buy cheap flip-flops to wear thru security and then dispose of them in screening area? What exactly is a "bootie" when applied to an adult? And I think in Hawaii, rubber flip-flops are the standard for a "slipper."

I may have to check out the shoe -- I mean bootie and slipper -- selection at our local dollar store!
