Only the U.S. Gov't would be so stupid as to have a "dress code" for air marshals ... bureacrats have no common sense ... they should look like appropriate tourists, long-haired hippies, computer geeks and mr. and mrs. average American ...

I don't care how they're dressed so long as they're not obvious, can shoot straight and quick and know close-quarters combat ... that a plane took off without protection over "dress code" is beyond stupid and unforgivable had something serious occurred ...

s/b "bureaucrats"

[Blueflag]

I fly a LOT for business. I normally keep my hair "high and tight". I'm 6'4", 235 and in good shape. I always keep my sport coat on, cuz it has my glasses and all my electronics and such in it.

I can see from people's looks and glances that they think "he's the airmarshal". It's kinda funny. I had an American Airlines FA swear I was her "sky guard" even though I honestly denied it. I can abuse the illusion pretty easily -- walk down the aisle to the loo and give certain individuals the hard glance. < / snicker> It works too. ;-)

Air Marshals' dress code

[Lonesome in Massachussets]

I thought they were "Sky Marshals". I thought an Air Marshal was like Bomber Harris. Or Hermann Goering.
