Ridiculous Laws

There's a good reason for that; it gave people cancer back when X-rays first came out and shoe stores used them all the time for fitting shoes (IIRC).

Hmm, really? Seems like a tad of an overkill. Like using a supercomputer to determine the best glasses for a person... Unecessarily complex too - how could such a procedure work efficiently?

Dunno. I've heard it was used mostly for hesitant children who didn't know which size of shoes fit best.

You put a shoe, on, stick your foot under the XRray screen and see how nicely it fits you.
