CHEEKTOWAGA, N.Y. (WKBW) — Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has launched a "civility campaign" to encourage travelers to be courteous and "dress a little better at the airport."

"Jeans and a decent shirt," explained Duffy. "I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better, which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."

I spoke to travelers at the Buffalo Niagara International Airport on Wednesday and got a variety of responses.

"That's crazy, I'm choosing pajamas."
