    Kilted in airports

    Hi all kilted community,

    Beeing kilted to pass the security in any airports is not a piece of cake based on my own experiences.

    No, I dont wear any kilt pins or sgian dhus, but the metal kilt buckles are responsible for all that mess each time I have to fly somewhere.

    The last time was at LAX but It would have been the same at JFK.

    Each time I have to endure the humiliating palpation session by a security agent who, most of the time, do their best to be as courteous as possible in that tedious process.

    Why kiltmakers don't create non metal kilt buckles to facilitate the things for kilted guys ? If it is possible to go to the Moon and back alive, it should be simple to create buckles who don't triger the metal detectors in airports.
