My take is that Reid's failure taught Khaled Shaikh Mohammed and his playmates how not to attack an airliner - which knowledge is almost as important as how to. Check the shoes. I can take it.
It's a stupid reaction to a one time threat.
What if Reid had put his sloppy bomb in his pants? Or his butt? Could you 'take it' then?
The 'Richard Reid' excuse is the most pathetic, lamest excuse that the imbeciles in TSA have ever used to justify their disgusting shoe fetishes/perversion. I think Kip and his ilk just want to save the quarters they would be otherwise spending at the peep booths.
