But now they're checking rail stations.

In Denver, when you're randomly herded into the puffer machine line, you leave your shoes on while in the puffer machine, then you are required to take them off for x-ray examination. I think somebody could make millions if they sold some sort of sticker that could be placed inside your shoes, and that would reveal a middle finger (or a message like "find what you're looking for?) when x-rayed.
