Also, upon request, they will review a script or pre-released TV show or movie for accuracy. If you've ever been in the military, it's obvious which producers take advantage of this service and which don't. Still, I get a kick out of the propensity of Hollywood to portray the generals inside Cheyenne Mountain or SAC HQ wearing their dress uniforms with their hats on.

I suppose the TSA will be opening up a similar office very soon...
They'd have to have some consistency in dress and demeanor to articulate, wouldn't they?
