| Old Skool  |  New airport scanner is being tested
If New Scanner Gets TSA's Blessing, Travelers Can Keep Their Shoes On 19-May-2006 Agovernment lab is testing a "very promising" new machine that would allow airline passengers to keep their shoes on while going through security checkpoints, the nation's aviation security chief said Thursday. The machine, which detects explosive material on shoes when people stand on a platform, is getting a "highly expedited" review at the lab, said Kip Hawley, head of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). http://www.airportbusiness.com/artic...tion=1&id=6557 |

This would have the benefit of actually being able to detect explosives instead of the shoes off charade we have now.

I don't think I own anything that doesn't have gun powder residue on it.

Smoke and mirrors again. So they are not going to scan for metal objects in the shoes?
