Interesting. A co-worker of mine recently flew from SF to VA for a business meeting. Like you, he's a hair over 6'0, probably 220+, and built like a football player. Because he had a meeting right after landing, he decided to wear his suit onto the plane.

He was actually stopped by the airline (AA) before boarding and was asked to remove his tie and jacket before entering the plane. Apparently there had been an incident where a young kid had seen a guy like him (well built and wearing a suit) on a flight and assumed that he was an air marshal. Being a typical kid, he approached the guy mid-flight and asked if he could see his gun. The stewardess overheard the discussion, alerted the cockpit crew to a possible armed man on board, and the REAL air marshal intervened with his weapon drawn.

It sounds kind of funny in retrospect, but it apparently made for a very tense few minutes until they figured the whole thing out. Now AA apparently asks business travelers with that "agent look" to remove their jackets and preferably ties just to eliminate any possible confusion.

Uh oh. My suits are usually a bit too high-end to be mistaken, but the Randolph aviators and the summer haircut have defintely saved me from a speeding ticket or three.
