Fascinating.  I can see how a visual inspection of a brace could be done
without removing it, but shoes?  Please excuse my
ignorance/insensitivity if I don't understand the potential problems
here.

A loose end on this thread:

she makes a few specific claims which I find disturbing, and which
should be readily verifiable if true. These are:

2) Passengers wearing orthopedic shoes are excused from having to
take their shoes off for examination

*-----------

Excusing those with orthopedic shoes seems unlikley.  I once followed
a
well-known psychologist through security following a convention.  This
was
*long* before 9/11.  He wore a leg brace, which set off the metal
detector.
Security pulled him aside for a more thorough search.  His disability
was
more obvious than one which might require wearing orthopedic shoes.
