Stinky Feet Plague Florida Airport Workers

Something stinks at Palm Beach International Airport.

And apparently it's the no-shoes rule through security gates.

The county airports director said at an advisory board meeting Wednesday security personnel "are complaining of odor" in the area and requested that the carpet be changed, according to a Palm Beach Post report.

Flight delays often mean a shorter window than the airport's regular 4:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. hours provide, meaning a new carpet might be more feasible than giving the current one a good shampooing.

The county is already replacing much of the terminal tile and carpet, but nothing was immediately promised for the stinky security area.
