I had one TSA employee at MCO absolutely insist to me that it is a new FAA rule that all pax must remove shoes.
Unfortunately, it appears that they just make it up as they go.</font>

There is a big difference between safety and security. TSA has nothing to do with safety. They should be looking after security, but the wat they go about it, very little is added to airport security by TSA.

I've never experienced at security what you did.
Frankly that TSA agent was doing his job. He has to be strong about safety. I'm amazed that an airline employee could explain away what this agent thought was a safety violation. Good for you.</font>

? I agree with the original poster, the rules need to be UNIFORM, it seems like this TSA agent was on a power trip like many others.

I think the real question here is why the heck did you subject yourself to going through security in order to have TGI Fridays? To each their own.</font>

I think I'll stop here. I'm only ticking myself off about this, and I'm not even flying anytime soon. After this post, I expect a full body search next time I carry my laptop onboard.

Suddenly it is deemed a security threat. Coming to think of it, isnt the laptop power cord as potent a weapon as a security cable?
