    I often get searched when returning. The agencies don't apparently share enough info since it happened when I worked for the USG. But, I do have one shoe with a thicker sole due to a large leg length discrepancy that I get corrected: a company cuts off my sole, adds some material, and then glues the sole back on. I cannot simply have something inside my shoe because my leg length discrepancy is large and then my foot would not fit. My guess is that is the problem. So, it irritates me that the smugglers use shoes!

      But America voted in criminal Trump to be president again so it negates protecting the border.
