The only thing I'm worried about is getting through the security checkpoint with two kids.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It is the holiday season. So we have to travel, so not a problem.</s>DODD: The prospect that an explosive could be placed in a shoe to blow up an airliner only makes the job of protecting the public that much more of a challenge.</s>DAVID STEMPLER, AIRLINE PASSENGER ASSOCIATION: We inspect baggage, whether it's carry-on baggage or checked baggage, for explosive or metal objects. We really don't test humans and the passengers for explosives; and maybe we're going to have to do that.</s>JOHN WHITE, MARYLAND AVIATION AUTHORITY: Shoes have always been involved in the security screening process. Now those security screeners hired by the airlines at the entrance to each pier would follow any further instruction that was given.</s>DODD (on camera): Yesterday's incident coming during the busy holiday travel weekend was bound to increase anxiety among some passengers.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: You just go, you pray, and you hope that the airlines do the best that they can to keep you as safe as possible.</s>DODD (voice-over): To land safely at their destination.
