Mag Shoe Lets You Keep Your Shoes On

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.
