When I heard that the TSA was issuing uniforms which were going to be more cop-like, I had the same fear that others have mentioned: people would confuse the TSA with police and assume that they have more power than they have, but I was wrong.

Now that I've seen a bunch of screeners in the new dress, I've come to the conclusion that it looks like a police uniform designed by Hanna-Barbera: the colors are incredibly cartoonish. With that uniform and their slack demeanor, there's no chance that screeners will be mistaken for police.
