When people complain they usually justify it by saying that it's a
random check, and "bad luck, we randomly selected you". Which is fine,
except at some places they appear to be randomly selecting everyone.
In the UK we don't seem to have the same gadgets that they have in USA
which detect shoes that are going to set off the metal detectors - which
means that it's a good idea to take them off.
