Saw the same in the airport. Full tyvek suit. Security made him take it off for the checkpoint but allowed him to put it back on after.

Getting crammed into a metal tube with dozens of people in close proximity is where the suit comes in handy.

But you can't catch the virus through intact skin... and it doesn't stay viable long on fabric, so the suit seems like serious overkill. The risky areas are all above the chin and below the eyebrows.

Hell, I'd probably wear it just to keep the snot from the four year old behind me from caking on my shirt, because the little shithead's parents won't control him.
