Security check at LAX airport

[David]

Would it be heresy to suggest that if we want to avoid trouble in this messy world we choose to wear the trousers in airports? And in the scale of the universe would it matter, just this once? Those who wear the sporran may die by the sporran.

I have been thinking about this recently. We expect to travel with a low cost airline later this year for a familly event, I'll be kilted at it. As its a short trip we were not planning on checking in luggage, £25 for 20kg, each way. There is a "free" 10kg cabin baggage allowance. My kilt, jacket, shoes, sporran, etc will take up a fair amount of my 10kg allowance, I reckon about half. As it will be a short trip of 4 days, and the Wife will claim some of my 10kg allowance (dont they all?) I resent the additional cost of what will effectively be flying my kilt out and back, so I will be chosing to wear it to fly.As an aside, my son and I were going to Barcelona for a couple of days to see a football match, arrive late friday, return early afternoon on the tuesday. We had a race to see who could pack the fastest, we were only taking the cabin baggage allowance. I won with a time of 50 seconds. the ladies of the house were shocked and did not understand or comprehend how this could be achieved. they said they would expect to spend 1 day planning what to take!!
