Sniffing shoes
Which is more likely to find contraband in shoes:
1) A Team of Trained Shoe Analysts?
2) A dog.
Which is the better use of taxpayer dollars?
I don't want to feel "secure". I want to be secure.

The shoe sniffing checkpoints as you put it actually have walk though metal detectors and X-Ray machines so I guess they are metal sniffers and under wire bra finders.
A better technology would be the full body walk through scanners with the explosive trace detectors built in but the million dollar CTX machines took all the cash.

The better technology is the Sentinel II explosives detection system + the WTMD. There is no reason to hit anyone with more radiation and project an image of them onto a screen.
