Couldn't have said it better myself. I think the whole notion of the 'kilt check' (or worse investigations) has been ingrained in people from the start by popular/modern culture. I wonder how common this behavior was a few hundred years ago? Only through wearing the kilt respectfully and educating others on the fact that it's not merely a 'costume' intended for amusement will we be able to change this.

I promote what I, and a great many, consider to be a respectable, responsible and professional kilt outfit. Certainly my tastes are not for everyone, but when it comes to dealing with the uneducated masses, I think it best to set the bar high and make a good impression from the start.
