Where I live there are no line-ups to get into the U.S. or back into Canada. Interesting. I wonder where all those reports are coming from? As long as people with exploding shoes can board a plane relatively easily anywhere in the world none of us are safe. The US Federal Aviation Agency seems to think X-raying shoes will show explosive in them. This is not quite obvious to me. I suspect that the X-ray density of rubber and plastic explosive are close enough to foil this if the bomber is careful. There are systems which will the high-energy bonds which occur in explosives using nuclear magnetic resonance, but they're expensive (US $1 million+).
