yeah it was stupid.. but.. he's a teenager.. they do stupid things without thinking.. nothing about attention.. probably just bored after waiting for a hour at the terminal or something... it's not like he was burning his shoe.. just absentmindedly singing the little frayed bits of cotton that stick out of worn tennis shoes..

I agree with sorting it out.. getting the police on board and everything.. you can't be too careful.. but it would have taken 30 secdons to see there weren't any explosives in his shoes and it was just a misunderstanding.. denying them their flight is bullshit.
