Nope, only certain airports and airlines do the shoe removal thing.

And the Canadians never touch my laptop. I have to open it and show it to them and then put it away. The workers at FLL or LAX or Dallas, though, have been very rough with it, throwing around the grey box I've carefully placed it in to go down the belt. One time they shoved it extra hard to get it further down the belt after the machine, and I had to catch it before it fell off the end!
