Flying through ORD yesterday I noticed something that I think has been growing recently. TSA's with flash on their uniforms. Whether it is Africa continent pins or Secret Service pins or even a Texas Ranger pin I saw yesterday, I think it is funny that they are worn on a UNIFORM. Anyway, they seem to where them on the pocket with the name tag so maybe like TGI Fridays or Ruby Tuesdays, that is the flash pocket. Just thought it new or at least evolving.

Do you mean flair?

15 pieces of flair is the minimum.

Most likely they're pins that people give them as they go through the checkpoint. I've gotten several over the course of my six years (probably my favorite one is in hebrew and honors the Holocaust) but I'm not allowed to wear them on my uniform.

Our FSD is... like... an absolute bear on uniform appearances. We are allowed to wear only two pins - if we're qualified for it, we're allowed to wear the TSA five-year pin on our left shirt lapel turn-down collar thing (and he included a trigonometry-based graphic for determining precisely where the thing is supposed to go on the shirt). Also, if we have one, we're allowed to wear the "I am TSA" pin on the right shirt lapel turn-down collar thing. Those are handed out infrequently as a result of something stupendous, like being lucky enough to be positioned on x-ray when someone brings a gun through (I'm convinced that a blind person couldn't miss a gun on the x-ray) or for winning the 'screener of the quarter' popularity contest.

Yes Flair!!! It has been too long since I have seen Office Space. Netflix....

Cool. I'll start looking for the "I am TSA" pin/flair. I was just surprised about the Africa and Puerto Rico pins I saw this week.

Thats uh.... different, but who cares what TSA's uniforms look like? They arnt LEOs anyway.

Right?

Ummm...I never said they were LEO's. I was just commenting on their uniforms. We are all fascinated about UA pilots wearing their hats or not, I was just curious as to whether there was any regulation as to TSA "flair"

Love that movie.

When TSA goes away, we can all gather at our local airports and "Office Space" the 3-1-1 signs

I wear one pin and one pin only, and it's non-official.

That pin of course, is my union local pin.

I wear it right smack dab in the middle of my tie.

AFGE Local 2617 represent!

There is one women who wears a crapload of pins up and down her lanyard... including... an SSI pin, I didn't even know they had SSI pins.

OOOOhhh! can I vote, please, please

Well, if there was widespread knowledge about the SSI pin, it wouldn't be SSI now would it? Ever occur to you what an unmitigated, anti-freedom farce your "Agency" has become? Want a pin for that?

Was it anything like this?

You think I'm not aware of that.... Just look at the whole god damn TS/S forum.

Please don't insult my intelligence with a stupid comment like that.

Must be a huge pin ... TSA always tries to hide behind it.
