I know it is 100% different in the military, but this isn't the military.
I'm not trying to start a pi$$ing contest, just pointing out the irony that it seems to be okay to make fun of the TSA, but not okay to make fun of ourselves as airline pilots.

Actually I agree with you on the TSA uniform subject. They are employed and they have a uniform to wear. Not their fault if it is silly looking.
No - the airlines are not the military. But most places have standards of wear if there is a uniform for the job. You are in a standard uniform and I suspect that there actually are some type of regulations for wear of said uniform. Personally - if I have a uniform on and I'm suppose to wear the hat (cover) indoors - that is going to take quite some time to get use to that one!
