While I believe your sincerity in wanting to post helpful info, the essential issue on the table is the nature of appropriate dressing to just get us on our way. That is precisely what sets off so many of us here. I cannot stress the degree to which we're absolutely fed up with being expected to read the mind of some nameless, faceless leviathan of a bureacracy that is the TSA, brought to you by the Dept. of Fatherland Security.

Being asked to pull down one's everyday, ordinary trousers for a looksee? Getting felt around the breast for an underwire?? Wouldn't a visual inspection truly be safer?? How do you know it's not a wire connected to something more sinister? I have to ask, and not rhetorically I might add.

If by appropriate you mean that common streetwear is now that great of a liability to air safety, then, to use the vernacular, the terrorists really have won. We've slid down the hillside so far already I shudder to think just where the absurdity will stop. I fear civil collapse to some significant degree within my lifetime. I really do.
