Does anyone know why shoes might set off metal detectors in some airports and not others? Mine almost always goes off at LGA, only once at BOS.

Varying sensitivity of the metal detectors. I suggest wearing different shoes to play it safe.

Some shoes have metal shanks in them for stability. Also Google Richard Reid

Random alarm is different and they tell you you've been selected for a random screening. Just different sensitivity on the machines. Logan C is the only that gets me... happens every time though.

Also. Have found that they claim shoes but it's not really shoes. They told me to take off my shoes once and taking out my wallet did the trick.

May also be a random alarm.

Some metal detectors are set more sensitive. The one at DFW T-C Pre is extra sensitive. I had a pair of Rockports that would alarm there but almost nowhere else.
