couldn't agree with you more, so they have to take there shoes off.... SO WHAT!!! same rules for everyone is the only fair way of doing it...
can't believe this thread has lasted as long as it has
Then unfortunately you just don't get it.
BTW removing your shoes as a working flight crewmember is not a requirement, the TSA may "encourage" you to remove your clogs, but you don't have to. (At least that's what my airline has told me)
The most important people? Have to be doctors and surgeons who save lives daily.
I'm sure you know that if they make a wrong decision one person dies, a pilot on the other hand.... (not that I see myself as important, especially by the wife and kid)
