Dressing up.

Something I was just reminded of.
At Big Boys Toyz 2006. I was at a stall that sells replica toy guns and accesories for arms.
One young man, roughly 16 years old. Came to the stall and enquire about the price of a shoulder harness hoslter and asking for a quote as to how much it all will cost if the stall were to fully outfit a person as a CosPlay Plain-clothe officer cum Security Branch Officer. He sounds rather smug and machiam like he can afford lots of money to do so.....
I spoke to the young man and tells him that it might be easier if he tells us what he really was using it for, and that the stall owners as well as most folks at the stalls are real officers and can better advise him on what is appropriate.
Our rationale: We dont want a SecCom Officer to look like he have no idea what he should seriously Not be carrying. For CosPlay, you need to have some drama somewhere, yet not get him in trouble. So we are all prepared to help him outfit himself out.
The young man turns pale and look stricken at us and asked again: 'You mean you guys are officers also?'
Then he promptly gave an excuse that he needs to go look at other exhibits and runs off...
Ermmm......any idea what it was about?
