I'm writing this post from an American Airlines flight out of DFW. I
was not required to remove my shoes, but it is "preferred"
I took them off simply because the last time I flew out of DFW my feet
set of the metal detectors. No, not my shoes or my socks, my feet
(well, actually the bottom of my ankles)
We never did figure out why, I don't have any pins or anything, but it
just seemed easier to take my shoes off before they forced the issue.
And no, my feet didn't set off any alarms this time.
