So apparently people 75 or older do not have to remove shoes or light jackets.
This is GREAT news for older Americans.
But in theory, this would give the terrorists a easy way to plant shoe bombs!!! Just get OLD terrorists.
The TSA becomes more of a joke every month! False security, but hassle guaranteed!
Just like the liquid ban which is WORTHLESS considering that you can basically tape plastic bottles to the inside of your legs and if no body scanners, just walk through security. Hell, wear a camel back pack full of the banned liquids. No way to detect it.
I guess they want the "people" feeling safer.

Although they haven't stopped me from putting a couple nip bottles in the ziploc bag.

According to the six-page indictment, von Brunn entered the building and shot security guard Stephen Tyrone Johns, who died from his injuries.[10] Von Brunn was a white supremacist and Holocaust denier who had previously been arrested and convicted for entering a federal building with various weapons in 1981 while trying to place the Federal Reserve Board of Governors, who he considered to be treasonous, under citizens arrest.[11]
