And the x-ray machine doesn't detect explosives anyway...

"X-ray machines that screen airline passengers' shoes cannot detect explosives, according to a Homeland Security Department report on aviation screening.

Findings from the report, obtained by The Associated Press, did not stop the Transportation Security Administration from announcing Sunday that all airline passengers must remove their shoes and run them through X-ray machines before boarding commercial aircraft."

Hmmm....who has the contract for those TSA booties?

You had better believe it. We had to take the shoes off my two- and four-year-olds Saturday at ORD, which makes the process of going through security with small kids that much more enjoyable...
