I once stayed at a hotel where they were holding a SWAT training convention. Tragically, as fate would have it, a Star Trek convention was just finishing up so the two usually completely separate groups of society had to mix together in the common areas. The funny thing was that the usually aggressive and self confident elite of law enforcement (and they have every right to feel that way because of their training and the real life dangers they face) had no idea how to handle grown men wearing make up and costume so they stayed as far away from them as they could. You can't mess with a man who is willing to wear an Enterprise uniform in public.
