OK, fine. everybody start wearing suit & tie on all trips by plane. if homeland defense won't wise up, maybe we can conceal 'em in background noise.

Anonymous sources throughout this whole story. It just doesn't ring true.... it rings like someone trying to make this administration and it's security attempts look silly. And, unfortunately many here are all too eager to jump on the bandwagon. I am not buying the dress code story until someone on the record reports it.

This is an AP story posted by Cleveland's best online news source (the website of an ABC affiliate). Dismiss it if you will, but when they publish a story that embarrasses bureaucrats.....

Maybe TSA should require everyone who boards a flight to dress in a suit. < /sarcasm>

for ultimate air safety, all passengers should not dress at all... can't smuggle a weapon on board if there is no place to hide it!

No shoe bombs either...

It's safe for Air Marshals to fire on aircraft because they use those Glock 9mm pea-shooters, not a massively powerful handgun like my Walther PPK (snicker)...

I needed the humor this morning.

Also, don't forget about frangible ammunition, like Mag-Safe (which was designed for just that purpose).
