I hate having to remove my shoes at the airport security check point. Luckily the TSA has removed this requirement providing a new market for shoe-only scanners. A step-on x-ray device was created and is being used in Israel called the Mag Shoe. It scans your shoes as you walk through security in just two seconds.
Implications - With new innovations such as the Mag Shoe, airport security may be able to move a little bit faster while still taking all necessary precautions. People will also be less discomforted and grouchy if they do not have to take the time to remove their shoes. With new technology always coming about, people may even enjoy being at the airport!
