One more thing on the CHL badge issue - it is a Class B Misdemeanor in Utah to display any badge that resembles a law enforcement badge. They drilled that in pretty well. No CHL badges!
I don't know if a CHL badge is enough evidence, in Texas,to get you charged with impersonating a LEO, but I don't want to take any chances.

Re: Unusual Instructors
I have been out of pocket for a few days, and just saw this. Thanks for the compliments on the truck! Yes, it does work. The wrap on the truck has paid for itself many times over.
We also wear our Crossfire shirts just about everywhere we can. Even when traveling. And today is the first time I have ever had any trouble. We are sitting in the terminal at Salt Lake City waiting to board a plane after having just renewed our Utah CFP Instructors permits.
TSA apparently not having a happy day here. Got rude comments at the first check, and ignored it. But, when I went through the scanner, the TSA guy says "Turn around and let me see your shirt!" OK.... then "Why would you choose to wear something like that to an airport?" (Really? Am I a threat because I have a scary picture of a gun on my shirt?
) I said, "It's my business. We choose to advertise everywhere we go. Please give the big guy behind me a hard time too."
So, of course, Marty gets the full treatment. Cause, besides the scary t-shirt, he also has a scary mustache! And a CPAP machine for sleep apnea! Oh dear lord, we have met the criteria for terrorists!
End result - just so ya know... the SLC airport is completely safe - from us.
