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.
