BOS has the Massachusetts State Police which has it's own entire Troop (Troop F) dedicated to the airport. It being the State Police, know for their strict physical fitness requirements they are all mostly likely full-duty. However, there is one trooper who I occasionally see, that seems to be a bit portly, usually always carrying the MP5 on a sling, however, he must be full-duty if he's always carrying around firepower like that.

Then there's the Massport Police... but I don't have a clue what they do, I see them rarely. From what I've read they patrol the cruise terminals in South Boston.

But I don't expect the new uniform to garner alot respect... maybe some from the regular Joe Schome types.

But again, considering the fact we go into people's bags, that may be slightly dirty from packed shoes or an idiot bag that has leaking lotion, I'd rather have blue so it doesn't stain as easy so I can at least last the day in somewhat clean shirt until I can get home and toss it in the wash.

Or iron my shirt... and polish my shoes... and trim my hair...
Yes, there are two female supervisors in my checkpoint who seem to love handing out violations to us for having a slightly yellow uniform.

One of my female co-workers had to go buy a new shirt because it was slightly yellowed... and this was right before the supplier, VF Solutions removed the old shirts and pants off their website (Friday, at least according to email.. they'll start selling the new uniforms).

Heck, my short sleeves came with some sort brown spots on the tips of the collars... and these things have gone through over a 100 washes and they haven't gone away!

They want us to wear Oxford shoes... which VF sells, but does not provide as part of the uniform or go buy a pair and make sure their polishable!

Yes, these two seem more concerned with enforcing the uniform policy then enforcing security.

Because the t'rrists know that when they see us not complying with uniform, they'll be able to attack our country!

Or however my dad's joke goes.
