Health Department does not get involved because national security/Shoe Carnival trumps public health and basic hygiene. I called CDC one day and asked about its position on walking around airports without shoes. The woman who took my call basically told me to bug off. TSA practices (shoe carnival, screeners rummaging through luggage and bags without changing gloves) are far more likely to spread disease than to stop terrorists.
