It certainly doesn't take much to get their attention....
I used to travel more than I do these days... and I used to shoot in a league / once a week twice a year for 10 weeks each.
Apparently I wore my elephant skin boots most often at the league I'm guessing.... about 3/4 of the time I wore those boots traveling, I had them pulled aside and swabbed before I could get through TSA checkpoint... After the 3rd or 4th stop - I asked the attendant... what exactly they are checking for - - was told "explosive residue".
It's the only thing I ever came up with as none of my other footwear ever raised an eyebrow, but those boots sure did almost every time.
