I'm not quite sure what you mean, are you thinking of something like the space pirate with a slide rule between his teeth on the 1959 cover of Astounding magazine?

Traveller has so many already, like blade skill being so common that blade is even a mustering out benefit.

If you mean that you want a suggestion to add a new AF into Traveller, the one that immediately comes to mind is a world where radioactivity doesn't cause cancer, so mid tech worlds have Orion battleships in orbit and launch costs are much lower and grav tech is not required to build large space stations in orbit or on the moon, plus you could still have glowing watch dials. Not sure if we need the radium or thorium toothpastes for whiter than white teeth though.
