The security people at most airports in the US do NOT ask people to

security people that you have a problem with balance and fall very
easily, and ask that you be allowed to sit down while removing your
shoes.


Every single security gate I've passed through recently has required _everyone_ to remove their shoes...even people wearing flip-flops or sandals.

Though why you'd wear flip-flops when travelling...I can't fathom.
