Possibly the next chapter in TSA security theater: shoe scanners

[thewayne]

Design proposals are being accepted for devices that would scan your shoes while you wear them. Remember the fluoroscopes in shoe stores in years gone by? Lots of shoe store employees got cancer.

When is DHS/TSA going to figure out that a device/protocol that addresses Threat X is invariably worthless against Threat Y?

That's not even the most recent threat. That's two, maybe three threats ago. What the heck?
