  Literally nowhere I've ever flown outside of the US has ever asked me to remove shoes. Not Japan, not China, not Hong Kong, not Australia, not the Philippines, not the UK. I don't understand why you guys are the only people that does it.
context: Gotta wonder how many other people are being jerked around by United like this >
  
  It’s United. That line lives to jerk you around. >
  
  I had a woman take my bag once and go home with it. I didn't see it happen but it was a flight of about 37 people in a tiny airport that only gets 3 flights a day.  When she finally came back to the airport and hour later, she apologized and said the bags looked the same. Aside from both being black, they were nothing alike. >
  
  I really don’t know why they don’t make it harder to snatch luggage. >
  
  Set the way back machine to before deregulation and you will find that they actually did check tag numbers before letting you walk out of the luggage area.  Different times. >
  
  I would take bag tag checks back over TSA security theater any day. >
  
  TSA is a huge waste of money and resources. >
  
  I still can't believe even after all these years, they don't have a scanner that would prevent people from having to remove their shoes. 
  I don't use TSA-precheck to begin with since when they offered it to me for free one time, they told me not to remove my belt and sure enough, they had to search me and remove my belt. It's stupid and not worth having to give up biometric data and money in exchange for nothing of value.
