    Here's a new version of The Question!

    Well!

    This story: http://tinyurl.com/4y6je67 (MSNBC, about a week ago) certainly provides a different perspective.

    Seems it's not just guys that get questioned.

    Well, if you don't know how to dress yourself, you shouldn't get upset when people call you on it. My daughter wanted to go put in her first-ever job application tonight. I refused to let her do in her pijammas. Quite frankly, when you do something to call attention to yourself, you take the attention that comes your way.

    Provided all is decent ie. bits are not being flashed, it matters not what a person wears. And there is no excuse for jamming a handheld radio between her legs to investigate either. Put yourself in her position kilties.

    If the lady did have shorts on there isn't a problem and if the attendant couldn't see the shorts then he couldn't see anything else either so again, what's the problem? There shouldn't be a dress code on a plane. Me thinks these aviationists are a bit up themselves, it's a flying bus when all said and done.

    As for saggy pants guy at the end of the story. I don't like them at all but I'm not offended by them. I wouldn't stop anyone wearing them either. No reason to eject someone from a flight. You might be able to see his underpants but you can't see the crack of his ar*e so again, so what?

    JetBlue? I'll not be flying with them ever (not that it's likely I might have)...

    Just be careful wearing a kilt into McCarron airport in Las Vegas. The tsa guy there did not like me wearing a kilt and he let me know it. Next trip to vegas, I'm walking.

    Really? What about it did he object to?

    I'm not going to Nevada anytime soon, but this is of some concern because I'm flying from San Francisco to Denver two weeks from today to visit my parents and attend the Rocky Mountain Highland Games, and I'm planning to fly kilted.

    Must have been just one agent, because last time I was there, I had no problems. I did get wanded and asked to confirm that it was the buckles on my kilt were the reason the metal dectector went off, but that's all the hassle I had to put up with.

    That's reassuring. This will also be the first time I can't go through an airport metal detector without tripping it, as 5 months ago I got a structural upgrade and swapped out a hip joint.
