I know these airport employees are thieves. I was asked for a $20 bribe for clearing my mere digital camera back in 1998. I wanted to pay the legal custom taxes but the officer was reluctant about going legally, he said " if you pay me $20 you can get out of here in 10 minutes and if you go through legal route you will stay here for more hours and may even need to come back to collect your camera" I paid him $20 and he put that bill in his pocket Shamelessly.

Coming back to the point. The pocket less uniform is not going to stop them from stealing, they may hide the bills in their ass...who knows....but it does demoralizes these thieves and makes a statement about their behavior at the same time.
