How deep is the security screening we are put through when we take up employment? I don't know. I have thought since not long after all the new security measures were put in place, that the next passenger missile will be flown by someone who nomally sits in the flightdeck anyway. He may be being trained right now.
But there is an easier way for Osama. Next time a newly recruited cabin staff member comes through that security door to bring you a nice cup of tea just ponder the point. What security vetting did he/she recieve?
Taking your shoes off at the security check isn't going to stop a determined and resourceful terrorist.
