The typically long lines at the security check will be cut in half at some worldwide airports thanks to this machine.
The Magshoe, created by IDO Security in Israel after the events of September 11th is the answer to one of the most problematic areas in security checks: your shoes. Walk through metal detectors today lack the technology to successfully scan below the shin, making it easy for weapons to go undetected. The Magshoe is designed to scan the whole foot, and the best part for travelers, you don't have to take your shoes off.
