Air travel

I just found this article. I know there would be an issue wearing any pointy or sharp items (pin, knife..). But, do you know for any case that kilted man was rejected as not properly dressed for air travel?

Regards!

Never. At least not from all the experiences related on XMarks, as far as I know. Most airlines, as insane as they can be at times for their rules and policies, probably know better than to mess with what is considered "national dress." If it were being worn somehow inappropriately, or if someone wearing a kilt were behaving inappropriately (like exposing himself, whether inadvertently or on purpose) I can see someone saying something, but then it's a whole other ballgame.

Otherwise, I'd say that it would be very odd indeed to bar someone wearing a traditional garment.

I flew from South Carolina to Idaho this year kilted. I had to take my kilt pin off (clutch back pins) and sent that through the machine and the sgain dbuh was in my luggage but other than the TSA gent asking if I had any pockets in my kilt there was no problem.

Dont even know why that question is asked.. When women wear far less (mini skirts, etc). And Why the big deal when it comes to a guy that wears a Kilt on a plane that goes to the knees...

Here's a recent thread about flying kilted and advice on doing so:

In my experience this year, whenever I wear my kilt on the plane TSA makes me stand in their scanner with my hands over my head. I have been told it is because I am wearing "non-standard" clothing.
