Personally if I was a baddy, I would wait outside a military establishment rather than sit in an airport just in case a serviceman happened to go by in uniform.
I think it is a huge shame we don't wear it in public a bit more, was fairly downcast when I stopped to help a lady change a wheel and she thought I was a RAC man in my No 2s....
