And, I have never had to remove my shoes at airports outside of the U.S., including on flights bound for the U.S..

I have, including on flights inside EU. What shoes do you have?

(Really, this has an impact - many shoes contain some metal reinforcements that beep at the detector.)

(I've also been asked to take off the shoes for screening, inside EU, without any detector issues - I suppose the security people have to take in a quota of white middle-aged and old men and women, in order to avoid accusations of racial, age and gender profiling.)
