Airport and Foot Friendly Trade Show Shoes?

Posted by Cliff on from the I'm-so-tempted-to-use-the-foot-icon dept.

Milo_Mindbender asks: "Where the heck can you find shoes that let you handle the ten or more hours a day of continuous walking computer trade shows require and won't set off the airport metal detectors? I used to go for hiking boots, but can't find a pair that don't buzz, even after I've stripped off every other particle of metal. I'm getting tired of trial and error (and blisters/sore feet when I go to CES, SIGGRAPH...etc). Does anyone have any suggestions?"

    I'm going to burn the karma on this one...

    You shouldn't be asking about how to galliantly pass yourself through airport security. Instead you should be asking yourself why they submit people like yourself to tests that only catch innocent people.

    I moved out of our country about half a year ago because I think that the U.S. has become more about lip service than our constitution. As soon as there're people willing to fight for what I believe in [The U.S.!], then I'll move back and join the army/air force/navy, etc., whatever it takes to keep our dreams alive. Until then, the U.S. is a civil war waiting to happen..)
