If there's an air marshal on your flight, you're not supposed to be able to tell who he is. And in order to help protect the anonymity of air marshals, the rules on how they dress and where they stay will be changing.
Marshals had complained that when they were on a flight to Hawaii, they could easily be picked out from among the vacationers because of their jackets and collared shirts. So from now on, they'll be able to dress the way they want.
They'll also be able to choose their own hotels. This could solve the problem that was uncovered in a recent report to Congress. It found that a Sheraton in Florida had designated the Federal Air Marshal Service "company of the month" because of the number of rooms it had reserved there. Again, not the best way to keep a low profile.
The hotel part is just dumber.
