I left it on, and went through the metal detector, which I set off, naturally, and had to stand while a security guard ran a detector wand over me. Wonder of wonders, he didn't even remark on the kilt pin, and let me pass. During the course of the journey, I passed through two more checkpoints and had the same thing happen. I never expected to make it to my destination with that kilt pin still in my possession!
