Aero-News Quote of the Day

"The board reviewed and developed recommendations on all aspects of the current uniform -- color, appearance, durability, ease of care and professional image -- and presented them to TSA leadership. The initiative was guided by the basic principle that dress and appearance should promote esprit de corps within the workforce while instilling trust and confidence in the public. The uniform, in particular, is to stand as a readily identifiable symbol of the security mission and role of the TSO in executing the agency's core values: integrity, innovation, and team spirit."
