That's fine for young people, but until they give me a place to sit down
to take them off and another to put them back on, I'll continue to call
it age discrimination.


LOL, Erilar...I'm not a young person either...I wear slip on shoes or
sandals. There are usually chairs in the back of the security scan area.


I don't check luggage. The hiking boots I wear all trip are my sole
footwear. I'm not going to pay extra to check a suitcase just to make
things simpler for TSA. They could provide a chair to take them OFF.
Heathrow, for all its faults, does.
