Imagine not being TSA pre-check and wearing those boots.

If you have boots like that, you're not going through TSA to fly.

Given the shrinking of legroom I assumed leprechauns would be content flying major airlines.

They changed their policy to not allow this after a few incidents with dogs.

If you wear boots like that you’re always fly.

Yeah you'd walk on the plane, put your hockey mask and machete in the overhead, sit down and enjoy your flight like everyone else.

You can get reproduction boots like that for not an insane amount, honestly if they came in wide I would have bought some years ago....

Few year back a story dropped that some dealers had clocked on to this and so they started renting a private jet to import kilos of cocaine without risk using a smaller local airport. Had been happening years before anyone booked them. No checks at all so people, guns, drugs etc were all easy to move. Just had to pay the 150k hire fee per shipment.

Are they going through tsa to swim?

u/paxweasley 4d ago

Yes, mostly because you’re still hitching a ride on the wing of a Wright Brothers plane

Imagine wearing uncomfortable clothes on a plane to begin with

They're actually pretty comfortable, if they're historical recreations.

A lot of historical shoe styles are comfortable because, silly as it sounds, they were made to wear and walk in. As we've come into periods of fashion where shoes are more for looks it's much more common to have uncomfortable shoes that you make yourself wear for an outfit.

Imagine not being TSA Pre-Check

u/taxpayinmeemaw 4d ago

And TSA isn’t letting you bring your weird button hook through security so how do you get your ye olde boots back on?

u/Johnny_B_Asshole 4d ago

And you're not getting thru TSA with a buttonhook in your carry-on bag.
