I mean, if you show up with a beard when one is not allowed, sure, but you chose to lose the beard; what's the issue?
I'm confused. Are you for or against them mandating you be clean shaven. I think the reasoning is that the oxygen mask wont seal against a beard very well. Same in the chemical plants. They have to be clean shaven so they can put on a mask in case of an inadvertant gas release. If a safety guy sees you with stubble, you are fired immediately, escorted to the gate and your credentials revoked...
