I've been doing the same for years (except I use footie socks that I slip on just before-- and off into a ziploc immediately after-- screening.) My husband thinks I'm the only one on the planet who does this. HA!

I'm flying in a couple of weeks and will be trying out a new variation... slip-on "water shoes." They are like footie socks but have a rubbery sole-- even less potential for the ick to reach my real socks AND a little extra grip.

I'll let you know how it goes!

And thanks for reassuring me there is at least one other person who gets grossed out by the thought of inviting whatever horrors lurk on the airport floor into her shoes.
