Kilted in airports

[funeral director]

Ive flewn to and from Australia on many times, via different stopovers, every where ive been have had people smile and turn back to look at me. Its nice to travel and have people show interest. Going through customs has been a headache, always stopped and body searched.

on 5 ocassions have been moved from economy class to business or first class. I now wear my kilt always, sometimes even for work.

Not exactly the same, but when boarding the ferry to the Statue of Liberty one encounters 'airport style' security. After several attempts, I was wanded, and it was the buckles on my kilt.

I half expected them to confiscate my kilt pin, a simple safety pin style type, given the 'no sharp objects' notices posted everywhere.
