Just before Christmas my family and I went to US to see Grinchmas. This was literally right after they put the metal detectors up. Probably less then a week. I was wearing a long sleeve tshirt that said special operations on the sleeve, had a maltese cross on the front and had confined space technician on the back. ( I am a firefighter with our special ops team) Out of the corner of my eye saw a security sergeant hustle by and heard someone saying something behind me and heard what about him. To my surprise I was being pointed out. The person pointing me out, was another firefighter that was wearing a department t shirt. I asked whats the problem and the sgt said no problem, and we were allowed to walk on unmolested. I asked him what happened and he said because he was wearing a dept t shirt they flagged him, and said something about the rules. We were literally on opposite sides of the table when we came thru. I was about 5 seconds ahead since no one in my family had a bag. I had to literally do a google search and sure enough I found where technically its banned to wear something that could be impersonating a person of authority. The catch is its buried on a page in small print that unless you knew exactly how to get there its easy to miss. The impression I got, from the encounter, its like everwhere else, where some people interpret the rule in different ways and so get a little overzealous in enforcing it.
Maybe Disney is trying to be careful what they ban because we live in a sue-happy country. What a sad reality.
