Security check at Dublin Airport

When I fly kilted I always take off my belt and sporran for the security check.
Depending on its size, the kilt pin usually needs to come off also.

As i say i was lucky with just being frisked albeit quite intensive, bit of an assault i think if you are kilted, i don't think a woman would have been frisked so thoroughly but it was preferable to have to take belt, sporran and footwear off, i always hate going thru airport check points where you almost have to strip. but it was comical to see dozens of kilted guys without shoes, boots, belts and sporrans, some with a drink in them getting their kit back on

I do that as well - and I also get asked to remove my boots quite often. But that's fine, security checks at airports are a necessary evil, and there's no point getting in a stew about it. If you prepare properly, the delay is minimal, and if a security guard insists on patting me down, that's a fairly minor inconvenience as well. A security guard once told me a trick for not triggering the metal detector, though; if you twist the kilt so that the buckles are at the front and the back, the alarm won't go off

Well, thank you for that. I've pretty much stopped travelling these days; not taken a trip anywhere we couldn't drive in 6 years or so. But, if I do pluck up the courage to fly again, I'll try to remember your advice.
