Stupid Guest Tricks

So this post is going to drive MAPO up a wall, but whatever.
Recently I finally figured out how to spot the Disney security plain clothes officers. Simple formula:
Near the bag check.
Leaning on a rail.
Large.
By themselves.
AND
Wearing bright orange Hawaiian pants.
I think there must be a competition to see who can pull off the tacky tourist stereotype the best. (worst?)

(note to hobie,don't wear orange Hawaiin pants) ;)

Some of the ones at DAK do pretty good, though I did see one this morning right near the guard manning the no bag entrance. Where and how he was standing gave away the fact he wasn't just a tourist.

Some of them do a good job blending in and looking like they are waiting on someone to a casual observer, others stick out like a sore thumb (the radio earpiece doesn't help either, though some do wear discrete ones). When I enter the parks I play "spot the PCO" and rarely have a hard time doing so. Heck, one time a while back I saw one with an orange Nextel on their belt. I've never seen an orange Nextel used by anybody but security.

The ones at MK main entrance do a good job of looking like someone who crawled out of a cardboard box and fell asleep on the planter between the turnstiles.
Hobie, I think I saw those pants today.

also they have an earpiece through the shirt

I don't understand why anyone would think someone wearing these pants was in security.
