Duffy emphasized bringing civility back to air travel, especially during busy seasons like Thanksgiving. While some social media users supported his call for better dress codes, others criticized it, citing tighter airport security, cramped seating, and poor airline service as reasons why dressing up feels pointless. Additionally, some questioned the priority of focusing on dress standards amid recent disruptions in air travel caused by government shutdowns. The article ends by suggesting that this lively debate might be a topic for family discussions during the holiday season.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>In decades past, it was customary to wear respectable dress clothes when traveling on airplanes.<\/p>\n<p>Now that we take air travel for granted, one is much more likely to see pajamas, yoga pants, khaki shorts, and disheveled hair in the terminal or waiting for TSA.<\/p>\n<p>Transportation Secretary <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/transportation-secretary-sean-duffys-son-law-running-youngest-member-congress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sean Duffy<\/a> unexpectedly induced a massive social media debate over the declining standards for personal attire in airports by advising the nation to dress a bit better &mdash; not just for themselves, but for the sake of their fellow passengers.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;People dress up like they&rsquo;re going to bed when they fly,&rdquo; Duffy said in a now-viral Fox Business interview about air travel ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We want to push people as we come into a really <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/talking-turkey-thanksgiving-travelers-set-to-clog-skies-and-roads-in-historically-busy-travel-season\/\" title=\"Talking turkey: ... ...ers set to clog skies and roads in historically busy ... season\">busy travel season<\/a>, help people out, be in a good mood, dress up.
