Ebay's take
"Any article of clothing or identification relating to transportation security or employment with any transportation related industry is not permitted on eBay.
Vintage commercial airline, train, or subway clothing such as ties, scarves, jackets, and similar items, may be sold so long as the item description clearly states that the item is at least 10 years old, is no longer in use by the airline, and does not resemble any piece of the airline's current uniform."

Sale of pilot uniforms threat to airport security - claim
Airline Industry Information, Feb 28, 2005
AIRLINE INDUSTRY INFORMATION-(C)1997-2005 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD
The governor of Illinois has called for the US federal government to stop the sale of airline pilots' uniforms on the Internet.
According to Governor Rod Blagojevich terrorists may obtain a pilot's uniform over the Internet and use it to breach airport security.
Illinois is reportedly working on a measure that would make it illegal to enter secure areas of an airport while impersonating a commercial pilot.
A pilot, even wearing a uniform, must still present appropriate identification to pass through airport checkpoints, said a Transportation Security Administration spokesperson.
