I would love to be there just to see the look on the TSA faces!!!
Make sure the video was recording and "Please remove your shoes." "No, you can't board until you remove your shoes."
And try not to choke keeping from laughing while the shoes are removed.

No, even better, I want to see the look on his face when they tell him to come into the backroom and remove them for a "special" pat down.

No, you have to remember, for the TSA guys this is just part of their work shift. The wearer of these monstrosities is the one that is going to get stressed out. He's the one trying to get to the gate on time to board his plane. The TSA person just has to say, take them off and wait for him to comply. The TSA person gets his paycheck whether you comply or not and does not care that you are running late for your plane.
I always travel now with slip on shoes. Recently I went on a business trip and a guy in front of me had these high lace up work boots. He pleaded with the TSA inspector not to make him take them off but TSA would not have it. I got through the line and made it to the gate a good 10 minutes ahead of the guy.
Here is some tips for fast TSA inspections: Put EVERYTHING from your pockets, and on your body that is metal or even plastic into you carry-on bag or brief case. Wear easy off/easy-on shoes. Carry ONLY your boarding pass and ID. Your carry-on will go through the x-ray and you will go through the body scanner or metal detector quickly the first time.
It is so frustrating to be behind someone who has to go through the metal detector 3 times because he is wearing his watch, or has his keys or ink pen or change in his pocket.

I cannot get through the metal detector because of my knee replacements. I always have to undergo a thorough body feel-up.
If TSA EXISTED BEFORE 2001, THE "Twin Towers" in N.Y.C. would still be standing tall with all those inocent people would still be alive 🤔

Not true in any way, shape or form.

Every time TSA is tested, a large number of weapons ends up getting through. Maybe if they had had reinforced cockpit doors and anonymous air marshals on airplanes, then 9/11 wouldn't have happened. Add to that interagency cooperation which didn't exist and paying attention to the warning signals that were noted.
Needless to say, I was upset and enraged at that act of terrorism, but those twin towers, aside from being architecturally ugly, destroyed one of the most interesting neighborhoods of NYC with all its electronic component shops.
