Less, we forget, to avoid the stinky feet of others in growing long TSA check-in lines.

December 22, 2001, Richard Reid, also known as the shoe bomber, boarded American Airlines Flight 63 from Paris to Miami with shoes packed with plastic explosives in the hollowed-out bottoms. He unsuccessfully tried to detonate the bomb, and passengers and crew quickly subdued him.

NOTE:
He only tried to use about 10 ounces (283 grams) of Plastic Explosives.

More than enough to make a big hole or take control cable/wired running under the floor.

If he had done this in the Bathroom instead of the passenger cabin area, he might have succeeded.

#3 Lest we forget. TSA has never caught one terrorist.
