TSA: Pay $100 and Keep Your Shoes On!

New updates to the forth-coming Registered Traveler program:

You will be able to keep your shoes on thanks to the advances of shoe-scanning technology! The newly developed kiosk will be able to scan your shoes for bombs while testing your fingers for traces of explosive-making materials. Sounds like fun.

The article in yesterday’s Wall Street Journal says nothing about whether it will replace the numerous other security mechanisms. I’m very excited about going through a metal detector, the air puffing machine, and finally, a shoe scanning and finger testing machine.

I wonder when we’ll have that x-ray machine from the movie, Total Recall.
