It must be some kind of punishment.
I won't go into specifics in names or which airport, but "back in the day" when shoe removal was optional, I got a retaliatory secondary walking through with a non-profile shoe. TSAer decided to make contact with my foot with the Superwand. Immediate complaint to supervisor. Got the complaint form and FSD name.
About five minutes later I came back to the supervisor for clarity on the FSD's name spelling, but I noticed through the glass wall the rogue TSAer guarding the exit.
All that said it could have very well been his turn in rotation. But the look I got from him through the wall and the timing tells me it wasn't.
