Security check at Dublin Airport

Who won the match? If it was Scotland then the Irish security guys were probably just POed.

Scotland got beat 1-0 and Ireland won the Carling Nations Cup
so the security men would have been happy.
even though being kilted always brings a different type of security, i would not board a plane unless there was strict security but i am sure it brightened up the day to day routine of the security people by having so many kilted men to check

I guess that's my "point" about a kilt pin - it's a pin.

When travelling I used to carry a small emergency sewing kit. In it were some tiny safety pins that were less than 1/2inch long and they were taken as a potential weapon. Unless you're okay with leaving the kilt pin with some security agent I would put it in my checked luggage. As the man says "it's a pin."

I've made a circular metal magnetic kilt "pin" for aircraft travel. Sure it will have to come off for the metal detector, but can be replaced straight afterwards. Used a large washer so not very pretty, but does the job.

Steve Ashton made reference to a magnetic kilt pin in one of his posts. Don't know where it came from or if he stocks them, but it is another possibility.

I suppose it may be a nightmare for security personnel when something like the Tartan Army descends upon some foreign airport in some remote province where a man in a kilt has never been seen.
probably would relieve the boredom of the conventional security checks
