Traveling Abroad Kilted.

[tpa]

I have never had problem wearing a kilt out and about in England, Wales, Ireland, Spain, Switzerland, France, Netherlands, Germany, Canada, USA and etc.. Never any problems and lots of favourable comments.
I no longer wear the kilt for air travel though, as it complicates matters having to remove sporran and belt and has aroused suspicion at security. Last time I left Germany I was subjected to a very thorough and aggressive pat down by a security officer who ran his hands up inside my kilt and along my underwear. I was then called back for a second pat down and when I protested I was told I needed to co-operate or I would not be allowed to travel. Thankfully the second pat down was done by a different guy who didn't go inside my kilt.

I'll bear that in mind if I ever travel to Germany! I've never had a problem travelling in a kilt (fingers crossed) as pat downs are now par for the course with a metal hip, courtesy of a ski accident.
