As for protocol, I heard a story that someone who was boarding a plane was refused entry as his T-shirt had a Transformer character on it and he had a gun. He had to change his t-shirt before he was allowed to fly! Well, perhaps with the rising gas prices, everything will go back to classy as only the super-rich would be able to fly.

Also, you could make a joke at the airport. However it probably cost a fortune as opposed to now (even with the price of fuel).
