Climate campaigners plan 'smart clothes' protest

So there I was browsing the Guardian when I came across the above headline. Wow, I thought, this Heathrow protest is going really hi-tech and materials-friendly! And then I read the article and realised that, er, smart clothes are, like, suits and stuff. 'Protesters may choose to target businesses around Heathrow and will use smart clothing to blend in with ordinary workers,' runs the report. Oh well.
