Yes, I know this subject gets kicked around a lot, but I have two specific issues on US airport security procedures I'd like some comments on, as I will be flying to San Diego in three weeks to visit family.

Specifically, I'm wondering how to deal with belt and shoes, as the Seattle airport requires that both be removed before going through the security checkpoint. I wear a UK and the belt is kind of a requirement to keep the garment off the floor. As for the shoes, I can slip them off and probably crouch to pick them up without giving any peep-shows, but I'd rather not have to walk a quarter mile in socks to find a chair where I can put them back on (I usually sit on the floor just past security, but I don't see that as an option in a kilt.)

Sitting in a tiny airplane seat for several hours wearing pants usually leaves me uncomfortably "bunched up," which is why I'd like to wear the kilt. Any suggestions / first hand experience you'd like to share?
