Flying personnel/crew/staff used to have separate entries/exits to the airplanes on most of the European airports. The security people pretty much knew them and the reverse was true. Nobody could impersonate anybody. They could NOT. I do not know of any case. Contradict me if you can.
In US, where they did NOT have separate Entries/Exits for the flying crews (who are way and beyond. security checked prior to even being hired), nowadays, anybody with a GED can have a PILOT/AIRCRAFT CAPTAIN take his shoes off in front of the passengers.

Think US took major steps in preventing terrorism, by knocking the shoes/socks off of their own pilots?

PEOPLE,

Let's all stuff our socks with BLUE CHEESE/Roquefort CHEESE when we go flying in the BLUE YONDER.
By the time we get on board, the smell shall be very shepherdy like, and SHARP cheesy LIKE.

Not only we immediately become a IIIrd world country overnight, but we can also achieve MINORITY status, here in the USA, our own country.

SMELLY passengers to the RIGHT, Non SMELLY passengers to the LEFT, or vice-versa....or whatever.

HAHHAHA... WATCH THEM SMELLING OUR SOCKS !!! DIRECTING LEFT and RIGHT.

Isn't taking the shoes off, a MUSLIM custom??

The Muslims got what they wanted

Take your darn shoes off when you get on a hijacked airplane. PERIOD.

PFFF. Again, the last resort against terrorism is smelling the passengers' and CREW's SOCKS. We need specialized DOGS and airport security people.
