Not surprising, Tony. That site was only recently completely re-opened to the public, and then, only through the pressure of a couple of U.S. Senators. They are probably still over cautious about what and whom they let through.

Just completed a trip from Baltimore MD to Mississippi. Went though Baltimore-Washington International, Memphis, New Orleans and Atlanta airports in my Flamingo kilt. With my belt and sporran in the tray going through the metal detector was a breeze. The pockets worked well for more stuff than the sporran will hold. No grief from the security folks. I was in very rural Mississippi, and some people didn't seem to be able to cope with a kipah wearing, kilted Jew. But thats another issue.

Probably is tough enough just being a Jew in rural Mississippi let alone donning a kilt! How do they know anyway? Could be they are reacting to the kilt alone! Now, if you were black, Jewish, kilted and wearing an Aussie hat, they would need duct-tape to keep their heads from exploding!

Even in the boondocks, they recognize this as probably being Jewish. I think being a kilted Jewish, mostly Welsh, Marine Vietnam veteran, makes me a minority enough for most purposes.
I did twice hear essentially the same phrase behind my back "expletive deleted, Yankee, anti-Semitic ethnic slur, homophobic slur!" Amazing that the only word suitable for this forum, Yankee, was the most vehemently spoken.
