Narrative:
At several locations, federal air marshals are being required to comply with a dress code similar to the one we used to have for non-revs flying first class. I have confirmed this with air marshals on my flight. This is a danger to themselves, our passenger and finally us as pilots. This is a tsa problem. If the marshals can be identified, then we have weapons on the aircraft that can be taken away from them.
