Greetings from the Orlando US Airways Club. FYI, the Orlando International Airport is requiring everyone passing through security to remove and “scan” their shoes ... an action I've not seen elsewhere for a very long time.
I suppose they’re worried about Reid v 2.0? Do they not know about this? I’m all for the highest security possible, but about this, I really have to wonder … wonder about what they’re looking for, the efficacy of the search, and in particular, the smell from the black tasseled loafers of the gentleman in front of me. The whole scene was like a huge game of Smelly Shoes, but without the good sensibilities of public television.
All bitching aside, though: safety first.
