After reading this, I feel a little (and I do mean little, not a lot at all) bad for confronting an Air Marshal in Baltimore/BWI yesterday, explaining to him that if he's going to try for "I'm just a business traveller talking on my crackberry, honest," that he should probably not be giving physical descriptions of passengers loud enough for passersby to be immediate winners of the "Spot The Fed" game.
I don't actually know that he was an Air Marshal, he might have been TSA, he might have been FBI, who knows. I do know that if he was trying to keep cover, he did a piss poor job, and I did (extremely politely and calmly, I might point out, not like some raving lunatic) point out to him that he might as well have been wearing a uniform for as "subtle" as he was being.
