The phenomenon of facial hair on men in America would make an interesting doctorate thesis. American men, back from WW II, continued the clean-shaven look well into the 21st Century. Yes, after 9/11, it was natural to suspect a man with a humungous beard to be hiding a bomb or weapon in it. Then, when the government decided that we want more Muslims in the USA, a surprising number of American men made Chuck Todd's face seem to be everywhere. Now that he has lost all credibility and most people were not born on 9/11, full beards are making a comeback. It's no longer political.
