Ron, I have to agree. I first flew kilted at Xmas time on a trip back from Orlando to Chicago. I was wearing a UK Original (courtesy of flyv65) with the non-detachable pockets. Went through the arch and set off the alarm. Backed up and the lady asked if I could take the belt off. Uh-oh, that kilt is slightly loose in the waist (but one of my favorites and most comfortable). I said Yes (while mentally crossing my fingers, and went back through the gate. Kilt stayed up (thank god, it was the day after Xmas, so a huge travel day). Alarm went off again, so I got wanded. Felt a few stares while I went through the process, but did not take long and I was on my way. Took me longer to put my belt and shoes back on.
I guess they either had the sensors turned up, or the UK had just enough metal snaps to trigger the alarm.
The kilt concealed a blaster strapped to his thigh. Lazarus Long
