if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Please Remove Your Shoes (2010)From a technical standard this "documentary" is very poorly made with particular regard to the awful choice of musical score.As for the content of Please Remove Your Shoes: It begins with an allegation presented as fact, that of, 19 "Jihadist hijackers killing some 3000" on 9/11.For an ever-growing number of people around the world the official conspiracy theory of 9/11 is far from convincing. Almost all aspects of the official narrative of 9/11 have come into question and in some cases have been exposed as fraudulent. For example: The official 9/11 Commission Report, that was published to give the fullest account of the events of 9/11, failed even to mention World Trade Center Building 7, a 47 story building that suffered total collapse at free-fall speed (which NIST acknowledges) without an aeroplane hitting it. The official 9/11 Commission Report altered the testimony of Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta and NIST subverted the explosive testimony of Barry Jennings.There is also doubt as to the official view that the hijackers were devout Muslims due to press reports that claim they were seen drinking and hanging out in strip bars. The planted evidence of a red bandanna, fire resistant identity papers and passports stretches credulity.As it has been shown that the official conspiracy theory of 9/11 is a fabrication, why should we believe that 19 Muslim hijackers, unimpeded by standard operating procedure or military intervention, pulled off the most successful and sophisticated terrorist attack in history?Maybe the fact that none of the controllers working at the FAA's New York Center on 9/11 have been fired or even reprimanded or the fact that the FBI has freely admitted there is no evidence of bin Laden's responsibility for 9/11 should be enough to set alarm bells ringing. So it is clear from this "documentary" that the participants, mainly ex-policemen, are upset at their Government for corruption, mismanagement, intimidation and fabrication yet believe with unquestioning certainty that what their Government tells them happened on 9/11 really happened. For anyone with training in criminal investigation, it is really naive to think that these Air Marshals and ex-undercover agents cannot see the truth and realise where the motives for this terrible crime really lie.Yet in Please Remove Your Shoes the blame and resulting "fear mongering" is the sole responsibility of "Jihadists" and maybe some Syrian musicians but most certainly not the good ole US of A.

Anybody who has been through airport security with a critical mind must have wondered just what is the point of frisking the 80 year old lady in front of them, what danger a bottle of water actually represents and whether there is really any point in removing one's computer from its case.The answer this film gives is, as a lot of people suspect, that this is all security theater - designed not to increase security but rather the perception of security. It's main concern is to give the traveling public reassurance rather than actual safety.Narrated by former TSA agents and air marshals, this film gives an alarming insight into the reality of airport security. The testers of security (red team) who were beating security so often that they were withdrawn - they made the agency look bad. The focus on whistle-blowers rather than the real concerns which they illuminated. In one case the screeners caught the water bottle at the top of the bag, removed it and passed the bag back to the red team member with the assembled bomb still in place at the bottom of the bag.This film is a damning indictment of the bureaucracy that is the TSA. It also should be a real worry to anyone who is planning on flying anytime soon.

This documentary provides a brilliant analysis, by people who have worked in the field, with excellent backgrounds in security.It begins with a pre-911 analysis on the flaws with the old pre-TSA system. Showing how there were a significant amount of flaws that existed for a long time, and how security personnel were systematically stopped from doing their jobs.They then go on to analyze the post-911 and post-TSA periods, showing how the TSA politically evolved, interviewing several people who were involved in its creation, and talking to specialists who currently (or recently worked there).The documentary reveals some amazing information on probes done by likely terrorists, harassment of federal air marshals by the TSA, and how the TSA has setup a giant bureaucratic security theater. Leaving air marshals to conclude that air security, is worse than it was pre-911.An amazing documentary, and well worth watching.
