N830MH works for a food vendor at PHX. When he is working, he is exempt from taking his shoes off. What he repeatedly fails to understand is that when he is traveling as a passenger on any airline whether it be from PHX, FLL or anywhere else, he has to follow the same rules as a passenger. It does not matter that he proudly displays a PHX SIDA badge, he is not working, he is going on vacation and is no longer exempt from any rules, is not special and is to be treated just like everyone else.
