They still make you take your shoes off when passing through security check points. I know that they have certain policies when dealing with some with a handicap. If you visit the TSA website http://www.tsa.gov/ they should have a better description of what you should expect when passing through the security checkpoint.

Depends where you are and where you’re going. If going international, or cross-country, then yes. And you can get a med note from your doctor saying that you have a brace, it’s painful and you have no intentions to be hiding a bomb inside a painful foot.

Here’s a quote from the US Transportation Security Administration: "Passengers will still be required to remove their shoes as part of the screening process, however, persons with disabilities, medical conditions, and prosthetic devices DO NOT have to remove their shoes. Those who keep their shoes on will be subjected to additional screening that includes a visual/physical and explosive trace detection sampling of their footwear while the footwear remains on their feet. "
Here’s the link to that document: http://www.tsa.gov/assets/pdf/special_needs_memo.pdf and here’s their page on passengers with medical conditions: http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/specialneeds/index.shtm
Happy travels!
