Bart,

Can you confirm that people who declare a medical condition, prosthetic device, or disability are not required to remove their shoes and will just have an ETD check on their shoes?

From http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtrav...ty-update.shtm
and http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtrav...eds/index.shtm
People with disabilities, those with prosthetic devices, and those with medical conditions DO NOT have to remove their shoes during this heightened security level. Those with disabilities who keep their shoes on will be subjected to additional screening that includes a visual, physical and explosive trace detection sampling of their footwear.
