From Ask the Pilot, Patrick Smith’s review of “Please Remove Your Shoes.”
Still, though, my favorite line in the film is this one from FAA security agent Steve Elson: “They [TSA] focus on all kinds of minutiae and crap, rather than the items they need to.” Elson tells the story of the time a simulated bomb was run through an X-ray machine with a bottle of water placed on top of it. Guards caught the water, of course, but missed the bomb.
