Shoe lifts raise airport security alarm

Moron.

ya, a real idiot.

They freak out at the dumbest things.

Security Theatre at it's finest.

Oh I don't know, I'd rather they freak out over shoes filled with metal and batteries than at some guy who made a bad joke about a bomb.

Add: Seems this guys been living under a rock or something though, to go through an airport with this kinda hardware in his shoes is just askin gfor trouble.

I think the moron here is the guy with the shoes. Who the hell puts batteries in their shoes?

Showing up at an airport like it is the sign of a mental midget, but locking down an airport because of it is a joke. It's all security theatre. It does nothing to make us safer, and all it does is cost us money and time.

I'd rather they put their efforts into actually making us safer, than trying to be politically correct in their security assessments. If people wearing orange robes are known to light themselves on fire, you don't ban mothers from bringing breast milk on the plane. You search anyone in an orange robe for lighters.

We can learn a lot about airport security form the experts - the Israelis.

Ahhhh, I see where your coming from Caleb, and your right.
