    Well here's a crazy idea....Maybe you shouldn't wear a kilt while flying?? I mean it's great that you like wearing a kilt and all. God knows I love my kilts too. But I feel there is a time to and a place for everything. I'm pretty sure when that poor under payed airport security guy see's you coming his thinking.. "Oh for goodness sake!! can't this day be over?" Why make your life more complicated then it needs to be??

    Sorry, but I think that this is just defeatist. Should women who need the support of an under-wired bra give up flying as well? Should all the XMarkers, who own no trousers and wear the kilt everyday, give up flying - or should they walk round naked instead?

    Clothing evolves all the time. We can all remember when all zippers were metal. Now, the overwhelming vast majority are a non-metallic material. The same could happen with buckles and we could get them in a variety of colours - to match the kilt.

    I appreciate that not all of us come from the 'land of the free', but if we start giving up personal freedoms, in the end we have no freedoms left.

    The other thing is that some things are just worth the effort.

    Regards

    Chas
