What should USMS do about the suits?

I believe what Midas is referring to is that, when the suits were approved, there was a rule prohibiting the use of devices to increase buoyancy and speed. Since the suits were clearly designed to improve speed and are a little buoyant, FINA got around this by declaring that they were "costumes" and not "devices." You're likely right. I was scratching my head what he was talking about otherwise. A "suit" that is "approved" is a loophole?! I don't even want to get started on whether a tech suit is a "device." It's not a wetsuit and it ain't a device like fins. Just like the wetsuits, I likewise know my time differentials with fins. It's a whole different ballgame, folks. A suit is a suit. And it's one suit, singular, not two. FINA didn't have anything to "get around," since one suit is, in fact, "perfectly legal." The two suit phenomenon was immediately snuffed out. The tech suit has been around and evolving for some time now. I'm afraid I can't fathom Midas' comment about Geek being "pompous" either. I've always thought of Geek as anti-pompous and of attempting to squash signs of unbridled ego run amuck or indefensible statements run amuck as in the case of D2.
