Sporran in airport security

[mkmound]

Ok, all good stuff ....

. . .
Now I don't know what to do about this. Are the buckles going to be an issue, or simply something to be wanded over?
. . .

At least for the US airports that I've been through, I just took off the sporran and belt. The kilt buckles set off the metal detector, so I got wanded. (I think what Hamish meant is that he mentioned to the security folks before he went through the arch that the buckles would probably set off the detector -- that's what I did.) By the time you also take off your shoes, and in my case, take the laptop computer out of the case -- I was glad I had allowed some extra time!

Interestingly, on occasions where I've worn traditional kilt hose with commercially-made garters and flashes, the metal clips on the garters also caused the wand to beep! (Another good reason for following Blu's instructions for making your own flashes with velcro!)
