Airport 'puffer' machines?

[richardljohnson]

We are to take a flight later this summer and being that I wear the kilt 95% of the time I am off I had planned to wear the kilt flying. I was wondering if anyone has been through the 'puffer' screening machines at the airports. If so is this one of those 'non-regemental' times or just me and a smile time? Just courious...

Never heard of them!

But it does evoke memories of a certain picture of Marilyn Monroe!

I started to add that and my favorite phrase here in Texas when the wind comes up, 'parachuting'. You know the feeling...walking along and everything is fine with a gentle breeze then you find 8 yards of fabric billowing around you!

Yes, I've been through one - you'll need to be prepared to hold your kilt down (depending on the weight of the fabric). My gf had her skirt lifted when she went through (but caught it before anything was revealed).

What he said. I've been through the one at CN Tower in Toronto, and the gust wasn't enough to lift a 13 oz, 5 yard, but I was ready to pull a Marilyn Monroe if it did.

I've been through a couple times and it is not enough gust to lift a tank. If you're wearing a light fabric, you might want to go AWOL from the regiment for a day.

While I have not yet had experience with one, I would think that it shouln't lift a kilt, otherewise there would be a lot of women suing due to their exposure in skirts.

Or just go through regimental, and whatever happens, happens...

[Skweres]

if anything happened you'd be risking an indecent exposure charge, it might be a good idea not to go regimental

But technically wouldn't the airport be responsible for causing said exposure?
