Headed to Cola Warrior Classic, and I can't afford a private jet. Or checked bags. So I'm wearing my Esstac ASS and an ACH through the airport and on the planes. Currently changing planes in DFW.

So far everyone has kept an amazingly straight face. I didn't even get TSA groped, but the IR patch on the PC got some sort of special scrutiny.

Dear Internet, I met a really cool guy on my flight today. If something happens, I have his back cause he will be taking the shots like a Boss.

Does the guy sitting next to you look like an Air Marshal? I’m betting the guy sitting next to you is in fact an Air Marshal.

You are correct, and sadly no. I've got a whole stack of business cards with cola warrior info on the back to hand out.

Everybody else on the flight is relaxed and cheerful, thinking that nobody is going to start shit with a "Make my day" guy in full battle rattle just waiting for something to happen.
