Might I suggest you reconsider that notion? I have witnessed TSA personnel secret weapons past the checkpoint at my checkpoint. Management, depending on the person violating security procedures, turns a blind eye to this all of the time.

The TSA will tell you they do it because of Richard Reid's ill-fated attempt at making a "shoe-bomb". In any event, I agree, a determined maniac or jihadi can bring a large variety of things through a checkpoint.

I think that is a lie. The TSA is perpetuating this lie to keep their useless jobs. There is nothing that can be hidden in shoes that cannot be hidden on or in a person. The terrorists chatter, we act like imbeciles. The terrorists laugh their asses off.
