In the Kalamazoo-Battle Creek International Airport
The TSA guards allowed us to keep our shoes on as we passed through the security check point.
Something about my shoes set of some unseen sensor and they made my remove my shoes. After passing my shoes throught the X-ray machine, they still weren’t convinced my shoes were not a threat to “friendly skies.” My shoes were pulled aside for “further testing.” A magnetic wand was passed over them; they were wiped with some cloth that that was then put in some machine to read the residue of all the places these nearly new shoes have traveled.
At last convinced my shoes were not lethal, the TSA guard handed them back with a quick flash of a smile and a perfuntory “have a good trip.” My shoes now proudly display a sticker that says “Q.C. Passed.”
