I'm not so sure about this source. I've been asked, and I've seen many be asked to
do at least four of the "what they cannot ask you to do" items - - e.g. remove my belt, remove my shoes, etc... </font>
About the shoes, it says:
" Ask you to remove your shoes before entering the metal detector. "
So, past the metal detector (boarding gate, etc.), they have the right to remove your shoes. But I could have sworn I saw a CNN news report that showed people taking them off AS they're entering security. Maybe they were going through a second time?
Back in November, I was leaving DTW and, at the security gate, I was given the full pat down and wand-wave, but was asked to "unbuckle" my belt -- first time I've ever had to do that, before I just had to "bend it forward".
