In Amsterdam, I just had to put my feet (with shoes on) through a machine that took a second or two
no need to take off the shoe
Then I was given a little question and answer, the Danish (*I'm an idiot Dutch... y'all look the same to me anyway) officer looked me up and down and then let me board the plane. I felt much more sure that they were being diligent and actually screening people, unlike TSA that always feels like security theater.
Especially when they decide they need to pat you down and then actually move your dick "to be sure I wasn't hiding anything"
Like thanks for thinking my dick is so big I am actually hiding something but come on... you just wanted to get a feel of my cock Mr TSA

Agent Richard Fondler strikes again

It's significantly more likely that someone is hiding stuff up their ass. Not super easy to check that I'd imagine. They probably miss tons of stuff like that.

In Düsseldorf, after the full body scan and scan of my bags, I still had to take of my shoes, put them in a box, they scanned said box with shoes and after as I was putting on my shoes, using the metal seat to lift my feet, they complained about that because people sit there. Which is a fair point, but holy shit was I pissed off at the time. I hate that airport.

In Poland i could just walk through a scanner without stopping and that was enough

Years ago, my now deceased grandfather and uncle were flying together. My grandfather had a full ass pair of scissors in his fanny pack, because he was a practical man and having scissors on your person at all times is useful.
My uncle scanned the row of x-ray machines, and picked the line with the TSA agent that was inspecting booties closer than the x-ray screen.
My grandpa successfully made the trip with his scissors.

Annoying part about the kabuki theatre that is TSA is that they are inconsistent airport to airport. Shoes gotta come off, shoes can stay on. Laptop by itself in a bin, or with other things in a bin. Other electronics (e-reader, battery pack, etc.) in a bin, or in your carry on. But if you make the wrong choice they will let you know… loudly.

Inconsistent within the same airport.
One time the line split into two, with announcers for each line shouting different instructions. One had you take all electronics out of bags, the other didn't. One lines instructions included taking your shoes off, the other didn't. The line without shoes off instruction had agents insulting people for taking their shoes off for not listening to instructions. 10M away there is an agent shouting at people to take your shoes off.

Almost like security isn't the point...

The addition of the TSA logo in this meme 🤌

Took two flights this last week and was made to take my shoes off for both.
I opt out if the millimetre wave scanner though, so they basically just make it an additional thing for not toeing the line.

This is proof that rare dramatic instances are indeed, rare. And people have become hypervigilant.
