My First Kilted Airport Security Experiment

[Geoff Withnell]

I have tried the trick of rotating my kilt so the buckles were front and back and sailed right through. Not sure why this works but it does.

The old fashioned metal detectors only "see" in a narrow plane, so when they are side by side it sees both, but when fore and aft it only sees one at a time, so it is effectively less metal.
