I read somewhere a semi-serious suggestion that one challenge over-zealous airport security officials by wearing one's kilt to the airport. They might frisk you wearing pants but wouldn't dare if you wore your kilt "correctly".

Has anybody tried or is thinking of trying it?

Bear in mind that the guy who said "Don't touch my junk" when about to be frisked ended up fined and missing his flight.

At the same time - and there's video evidence to prove it - people have boarded planes wearing burkas - and didn't have their faces matched to their passports, so there are double standards out there.
