Those were the three buckles on my kilt -- You could see their positions on the image and see them plain as day on the kilt; but no matter.
That must have happened in San Francisco as well; but presumably it was obvious to the TSA folks and they were able to exercise discretion, as they didn't even say anything to me after the scan.
To TSA's credit, I'll say that the guy they called over to search me was totally professional.
On boarding, the (female) attendant who scanned my boarding pass greatly admired the kilt -- and had been at the Games on Saturday. And as I was waiting at the carousel back at San Jose to get my checked bag (couldn't take my sgian dubh with me on the plane), a man who'd been on my flight walked over to me just to say he thought the kilt was "awesome".
