kilts and airport security

Hi all,

I was kilted for the first time to go to Russia in summer 2008.
I took the precaution not to wear the kilt pin and the sgian dhub.
I had only problems with an arrogant security officer back in the USA at JFK when I had to do gymnastics for him. :-(

Nobody in the plane said something. It's not more different to see a kilted guy or a member of any ethnic group wearing its native dress.

While on my way through the most difficult airport (Vancouver BC) in secondary (read: terrorsit) inspection the lass with the badge noted my kilt folded on top of my luggage and asked if I was going to Doolin's for kilt night.
I replied to the affirmative and that was that, I was on my way.

I travel with the Scotland Tartan army to soccer matches, always amazes me the look on the security guys faces in foreign cities when they see a mob of kilted foot soldiers coming thru security
