I would feel much more comfortable about the dress code issue if it was government approved and government organised. I don't think we should be encouraging individual citizens to take it upon themselves to enforce their idea of the law. Where, in law, does it say that your knees must be covered?

Vigilantism usually ends badly. Let's hope that we don't find clothing police staking out hotel lobbies, beaches, parks, the areas inside our compounds, gyms etc because they think that in their opinion people are dressing "illegally".
