Airport Security Shoe Scanner

I came across this on youtube, it's a shoe scanner used in airports that you step into so you no longer have to take your shoes off and put them through the machines. Its called the MagShoe by a company called IDO Security. Fox News shows it being tested at airports in Tel-Aviv and at LAX in the youtube clip. Supposedly metal detectors won't detect anything below the ankles so this is also being used at other high security locations.
