The better question is why did the terrorist guy do a shoe bombing.  It would be much more interesting if people had to take off their bras at the airports.

I was telling my buddy last night that I wonder how much was paid to have a "wardrobe malfunction" on the very first cut 36 seconds into the game. To me, there was something seriously wrong with that shoe and not sure if it were an accident lol
