[QUOTE=FWAAA;8602774]Airline crews and airport employees are exempt from the shoe removal.

Airline crews are exempt from the war on liquids as well.[QUOTE]

If they are indeed exempt, the public should be outraged. Yawn, I know, they don't care. I find it outrageous. Ever hear of "clean skins" or the doctors UK doctors in London?

Even if we believe there is minimal risk of airport employees or crews crossing to the "other side" this double standard is exactly what creates cynicism in the public's view of this security charade.

Grrrr.
