Yep, I do it all the time. Fixed plate Soaps (Scorcher, Praba, and Express) walk right through the metal detectors, no problem. Removable plates Soaps (Scabs, Ordnance, etc.) might set off the bells if, like in NYC, they are set up high, but it's still easy to take off your shoes and pass them through the scanners. You will have to do that anyway when the Airports are at Threat Level Orange. Take your plate key on your key chain if you are concerned, but have having hard, injection molded nylon mistaken for C4 is a big stretch!

I thought of this thing too. But I wouldn't really worry about it. 9 out of 10 times you take your shoes off and stick them in a dumb container anyways. I mean if they look like they mean business (different people make different "threat safety" isn't that so stupid?) if you have bolt ons remember to bring your key just in case. Other then that fixed plates I dont see much going on.

if you had the maxwell plates you could hide a mini expolsive in it. i had to take my shoes off to one time

man.....the FBI is probably all over this thread cuz we said something about C4, shoes, and planes...my mom workes for the government, and if i want to go see her I gotta go through a bunch of security check points...but i havnt worn a replacable plate shoe in there now that I think of it...

haha, the only way the FBI would be all over this thread would be if I said. "Okay cool, now I just need to start figuring out how to mold this C4 into a grindplate shape. Just to be safe guys don't fly on (insert date here)" That would be FBI worthy.

Now if someone was wearing Soaps and they blew up the plane, what shoe company would be all over the news? What kind of shoes would all the rebellious and posser teens want to buy? who would be back in business? who has a little brother who wants to wear and explode a grindplate shaped C4 package on a plane for the better of Soaps?

some detectors go off, some dont, The one at the empire state building did for me, i was laughing my ass off

any got a private plane, you could do Soaps on a Plane. if not, someone bring a 1' rail with them when they fly, or an umbrella or something, and get yourself grinding it in your seat on a plane with your video cell phone, maybe i'll try that and call it Soaps on a Plane.
