At Dublin it seemed they would only do it if they would set off the metal detectors, but there was no consistency at all. George: it certainly was when I was passing through on the 25th of November.

They were when I last travelled through at the end of October. They are only required to x-ray 1 in 3 passenger's shoes and it seems that this is what other BAA London airports are doing. I have complained to BAA about inconsistency but have not obtained a reply. Edinburgh is also a BAA airport. Is STN definitely still requiring everyone to remove shoes?

I was at edinburgh airport sunday leaving for australia and all they did for security was the usual bag through the scanner, all phones/watches/belt in the tub, and walk through the metal detector. Ohh, they wanted my laptop in a seperate tub outside of the bag i was carrying it in, but didnt inspect it or switch it on. there was no need to remove my shoes either. Interesting stuff.

I've had that with my laptop in America; I think they were checking for explosives or something. However, in their infinite wisdom, they decided not to advertise that they did this, so as my bag (with laptop in it instead of on a 'special' tray) went through the scanner, I was suddenly surrounded by armed security asking me, "Is this your bag?" Fun! Wow, what a trek!
