Red face FA's Less Obvious?

I was standing just out from the desk and watched him show the "sky marshall" badge. The agent (Joe Aiello) smiled and made small talk. Agent left the gate area, walked over to a gate that was not being occupied and logged into the computer. He promptly ticketed both marshalls with F class tickets and I watched 2 names remove from the Standby list. I figured they are catching on that people are watching the monitors and monitoring actions like this.
I have heard that FAM's are now traveling "in cognito"... they no longer necessarily wear suits 100% of the time. Has anyone else heard about this? Perhaps the sweet old lady from Pasedena sitting next to you is a FAM!
