Was this the latest Virgin flight where each passenger has a set of
pedals to provide additional power to the engines for takeoff? :p

Just curious as to why one would wear (SPD I assume) shoes onto a plane
:)

As for metal I would have thought heat treated steel was the go...

I wore mine to save weight and the extra charges that come with it. Wear
you're heavy shoes and pack your thongs. Also wear 6 layers of clothing
for the same reason. I took my U-Lock with my carry on for the same
reason but the security guards weren't too impressed. It got to see the
cockpit, sadly, I didn't.
My SPD-M cleats didn't set off any metal detectors either. Maybe they
don't measure at ground level. Or maybe they're too well shielded by
your foot and the ground to pick up.
But thats just hypothesis.

They Use Adamantium. which is a lightweight indestructible metal found in Dr
Skriker's labratory. The same metal is also found coating Wolverines
skeleton.
