Everyone knows that Canadians smuggle goats from New Zealand. But no one has ever managed to find out HOW you filthy deviant ne'er-do-wells do it. Obviously they think you have some kind of space-folding tesseract goat pen in your footwear. Which you probably do. Goat smuggler!
Now I want to convince a shoe company to start printing jokes, riddles, or fortune-cookie-isms in foil between layers in the soles to entertain or confuse airport X-ray operators.
I have a pair of flats that the inner liner comes out of. I could, theoretially, make a foil note that just says "Hi Mom!" or "(Snobahr)'s L Shoe/R Shoe", sandwich it in plastic wrap, and then put it in my shoes.
Or, I could maybe get some metallic ink and write it out...
Are they trying to sell you shoes? No seriously, before we learned x-rays just might not be safe after all, they would x-ray your feet in shoe stores to get your foot size.
If they were x-raying my feet, and not having me take my shoes off to be x-rayed separately, then I might think LAX security was trying to sell me shoes.
passing though LAX once, i had my liquid soap taken from me despite having followed all the written regulations. the TSA agent claimed it was because the bottle was, "not properly labeled."

I told you you should have worn pumps and an evening dress. No one scrutinizes drag queens. It's true.
