The woeful inconsistency between airport security checks within the same country and sometimes within the same airport, really lends itself to the theory that it’s all a farce.

Travel time makes a big difference too, e.g. at peak times please keep your shoes on.

So “shoe terrorists” will commit attacks at peak time? (I don’t even know how much botleg water a shoe contain to upset the border control so much).
