when was the last time that they "REQUESTED" you remove your shoes??
normally "TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF" are about the only words of english they speak, and then they BARK at you ... hardly a "request"!
FWIW, security cannot MAKE you remove any part of your clothing. they can REQUEST only. you have the right to refuse, and trhen be subject to a "wanding"... then they can do a "private search", which you can DEMAND that be doen by two officers of the same sex as you...
