Anyone besides me notice how frickin' easy it is to spot the air marshal on a plane?
I guess I haven't noticed one yet. I'm always distracted by the hotties on board.
Oh, you mean, the big, broad shouldered white dude who never sleeps, is always looking around, and keeps his jacket or suit coat on no matter how hot it is while you wait on the tarmac?
This is such a stupid rule... they should dress to fit in with the flight. Business flights = business attire. Flights to Orlando = flip flops and Micky ears.
Clearly a point of some FAM Administrator being promoted one level above his level of competence. (My favorite Dilbert Principal)
Only a domestic GOVERNMENT turf-protecting, power-grubbing clockwatching habitual bureaucrat. Either let the Marines do it or PRIVATIZE THE AIR MARSHALLS. Farm 'em out! Let them write their own REALISTIC dress codes, and screw the TSA staff.
Out here in the hinterlands, I think all we get are air-rent-a-cops.
Sort of like when the FBI made their agents wear suits in Honolulu...
A TOURIST commented one day, within earshot, of pointing out an agent (undercover one) to another tourist.
They were authorized to wear aloha shirts after that..
I wear a sport coat all the time when flying... I like the extra pockets. I think people tend to assume I'm the air marshal, especially because I almost always fly in seat 2c.
