Are LEOs usually allowed beards?
These 'federal officers' would look more 'professional' if they cleaned up the facial hair (like, say, the guy in the background).

From the article:
We heard that the TSA was going to expand its ummm, ‘reach,’ but to assist in political campaigns is quite the jump in broadening their ‘transportation security horizons.’ I counted no less than (6) TSA agents alongside the usual uniformed Secret Service detail-not to be confused with the ‘Men In Black’ looking agents.

The blue shirts do tend to make them more identifiable at a distance, which is useful when riding any form of public transportation in the vicinity of an airport.

TSO "Screeners" are NOT LEO's!!! They are basically Walmart Greeters who work at airports & stand around...

I was at a Obama event on the Ohio State campus 2 years ago and TSA was there. I thought maybe it was a slow day at CMH. I guess better utilize them other ways then eating donuts or doing gate screening.
