I wore jeans and t shirt.
Is someone likely to shoot himself in the foot by wearing jeans and a tee-shirt...probably not. Might you get a bit more positively noticed by putting in the extra effort to come dressed more business-like/formally...probably.

Now I'm guessing you were at a condensed testing site? Now that's a different ball of wax and I would wear a suit to that. But for me, I took each step on it's own.
And I'm working a horribly boring spot right now so I guess I just want to argue with someone, sorry.
So on another note, how about that "Take the mask off" stuff for all the CBPO's out there. I would really like that when I'm processing an Aeromexico flight fresh out of Mexico City.

I'm not very fluent in english. My principal language is spanish. I'm from Puerto Rico.

But you bring up a good point about phones, seeing how it's a big topic around the water cooler at my work right now. You cannot use your phone (or have it with you according to some) in a primary or secondary processing environment. Meaning no cellie around travelers.Last edited by robeans; 04-29-2009, 11:24 PM.

Seattle is hiring like it's going out of style, I'm convinced they are building a small army and will take over BC Canada soon.
