Kilts on airplanes

[JackK]

Last fall on a trip to Las Vegas, I had no problems when leaving home, but did set the alarm off on the return trip. Maybe Vegas had the sensors dialed up or what ever. I did get smart with the agent when, after giving a no answer to the ususal 'are you Scottish' question he asked why I was wearing a kilt.

A little off the topic..but wanted to relate an experience with the "are you Scottish" line. I was at my aunt's house prior to going to my Mom's funeral. I get my Scot and Irish ancestory from my Mom's side of the family. I was wearing my kilt and a cousin (also from Mom's side of the family) who I had not seen in quite a number of years said, "I see you're wearing a kilt. Are you part Scot?" I thought my uncle was gonna crap himself.
