kilts and airport security

[The Barry]

Try wearing an underwire bra...... While it doesn't generally set off the metal detectors, if you're wearing something that does and need to get the pat-down...

That's it, sign me up for TSA school!

Flown kilted a bunch. Utilikilt Survival is good, but I found the USA Kilt Casuals more comfy on a long flight - like San Diego to Maui. Wore a kilt pin with double clasps on the back rather than the kind with the long stick pin. Took it off to go through security, put it back on once aboard the plane.

Comfy, very very comfy....and worth whatever hassles the Jr. G Men at TSA decide to throw your way. You can pretty much expect to be wanded just because you're "different." No big deal.

And, I've found a travel vest more comfy and easier in airports than a sporran or cargo pockets. Holds a lot more. Usually toss it in the overhead bin after boarding.

Loads of kilties flying to France this weekend. I would suggest no SD and no kiltpin if you are taking pop them in your hold luggage, if you don't have hold luggage I wouldn't bother, not worth the risk/cost of losing

With the rod in my leg and the silver woven compression stocking on, I get the "royal treatment" regardless of what I wear....so when I fly next in August, I just might wear a UK Workman's for the heck of it. The snaps alone on that thing might make the metal detector overheat!..

I have quite a few friends in the Tartan Army and they neverhave a problem. Although you should remove your sgian dubh (obviously) even if it is a dummy one and kilt pin also.
If youre wearing boots like timberlands you will probably be asked to remove them to put them through the scanner.

That's all I think
