Remind me again just how many shoe bombs have been uncovered in recent years?

Zero? Really, that many?

I'm a former airline ticket agent, ten years at DCA, and I can tell you that the security these days is absolute bullshit. It's beyond time we can leave our shoes on. The TSA has always been a complete and total joke. It's no small part of why I rarely fly these days.
