Following the attacks on the
World Trade Center buildings in
New York on
September 11, 2001,
soldiers in camouflage began showing up at airports in droves. The camouflage outfits they are using are not effective in hiding them in airports. They are also often seen wearing
international orange vests over their camouflage outfits to make themselves, apparently,
more visible.
Recommend design of new camouflage patterns containing vague pictures of drinking fountains, newspaper racks, and arrival/departure monitors so soldiers may more effectively blend in at airports. Also recommend not wearing international orange vests as they defeat the idea of camouflage.
