Taking my shoes off?
 

Hey do we have to take our shoes off going through security if we are in uniform?

Technically no..... If you beep though, bad news. Make sure you have "Airport Friendly" shoes.

I always do, but I didn't even think to try to get away with keeping them on. I will try next time.

I bet it depends on the airport and the screener, also.

Long as they're "Airport Friendly" (pre-crazy guy with fireworks in his shoes) and you are in uniform they stay ON...no need to take them off. Period.

My shoes don't set the detector off, and you better believe they stay on my feet. I hate surrendering my shoes!

TSA is different at every airport. The vast majority are cool though, and as long as your shoes don't set off the detector, it's ok to wear them.

Do you guys really think we should be talking about crew security issues on here?

Well that's interesting.:D

Keeping your shoes on hardly counts as a "security issue". Talking about FFDO among other things yes. Wearing boots in an airport.... no.

Talking about what crews may or may not have to do to get through a checkpoint...yes!

If you have to ask you're probably not a "we"!

(just messing...I'm not a "we" either)

Nothing is compramised if someone know's I don't have to show my socks.

It's not all about you(hard to believe, I know) , it's about people trying to pass as you, your capt, FA, etc. There's no reason to talk about it here. If your an airline employee as a co-worker for the answer.

Or, if you want to know, you could stand by the security line and watch a few people in uniform go through and see what they do.

Oh, wait, ANYONE could do that to find out the same answer.

People have only been wearing shoes through since the beginning of airline flights. If any of them found this to be a shocker then they are too stupid to pull anything off to start with. Has nothing to do with me per se. It's pilots in general. This isn't a security issue at all. Just because one person tried something involving it doesn't mean the entire world needs to worry about it. We'd never get off the ground if that were the case. Wouldn't hurt to chill a little. You're just looking for a reason to bicker.

Well, at least they'd have to work a little harder for it AND maybe arouse some suspicion. I had a thread closed after telling a guy that UPS wears brown pants. This would certainly qualify then.

Don't you think this is taking things a bit too far. Using this logic, who's to say a terrorist isn't going to go through flight training, get a job as an airline pilot just so he/she is able to have access to a cockpit and before we know it, 9/11 part deux is upon us. When its all said and done, no matter how "secretive" we are about these insignificant details...if a terrorist wants to bring down a plane, he'll find a way to do it.

Take one shoe off and keep one on and see what they say

I am just going to go in the kitchen and blend up some turkey sandwhiches . .. . anyone hungry??

why would anyone put a turkey sandwich in a blender? (haha help me out with the next line)

You would if you had your jaw wired shut! :D

You can learn to make a pipe bomb by doing a Google search too. It doesn't mean it should be discussed on this forum though. We'll just agree to disagree on the subject.

HEY!!!!!!!


that skit should be shown in every ground school!
