What a huge steaming pile.
I just saw an interview with Dave Adams (I believe) on Fox. He states that the article is wrong. He stated that the dress policy in place has no requirements for suits but doesn't allow jeans or disguises.
I can understand no disguises. Especially since in many cases the Air Marshal couldn't carry it off. One example given was a Marshal dressed as a priest. Jeans though? Come on. The primary pants I've seen on flights is jeans. Now that they have stated that, they should allow them.
But I wonder if this is completely accurate. They do have quotes from several Marshals that conflict with the official stance.
Mr. Adams also stated that the dress code was partially due to large numbers of complaints by the airlines. Umm. Who the F*** cares what the airlines want? Why should we be depending on security policy from an industry that obviously hasn't a F***ing clue about security.
Michel Malkin has an article dicussing this further. I especially found this enlightening:

Quinn spent two decades at the Secret Service before taking over the air marshals service, which may explain his dangerous fashion taste for the Men in Black uniforms. According to several sources inside the agency, Quinn has used his position to hire several former Secret Service cronies -- who have plenty of experience guarding high-profile politicians and celebrities, but no clue about what it takes to blend in and be effective watchdogs in the air.
