TSA is accepting proposals for a “shoe scanner” device. It could be a way to cut down on the aggravations of airline travel while still allowing officials to check for weapons and explosives inside a terrorist’s Reeboks. The idea crashed and burned when the Department of Homeland Security first proposed it years ago.

TSA has made airline passengers remove their shoes for X-raying, in the belief that terrorists will emulate Reid’s failed effort.”]
