I need to check your feet

This was one of the most unusual TSA screenings I have undergone. Today
is a light travel day, so I am in my shorts and my birks. Usually no
problem making it through the metal detector, but this time I set it off
(I think it was the extra zipper pocket on the side of my shorts). Since
it was set off it was now time for extra screening. No biggy. After the
extra scan and pat down came this very unique request. "Please sit down
and raise your feet so that I can inspect the bottom of your feet.".
Wowsers, how wierd is that! And, yes he actuallyu did inspect the
bottom of my feet. Yuck!
