    When I flew from Amsterdam to Glasgow...and back...no problems

    I wore a 13oz "traditional" with 3 straps/buckles and a deerantler kilt pin.
    Before the security check I took off my belt, wrist watch and sporran.

    I expected the alarm to go off because of the buckles...and it did. I got frisked and scanned with a hand hold metal detector on both airports, but it took mere seconds. Nothing special, not annoying or embarrassing. I received a harsher treatment while wearing trousers.


    The pleats didn't suffer a bit...the kilt after a tough weekend (Burns Supper in Dumfries)
    Picture taken after:
    -40 minutes car drive The Hague-Amsterdam.
    -75 minutes flight Amsterdam-Prestwick.
    -90 minutes car drive Prestwick-Dumfries.
    -A serious pub crawl.
    -A few strolls.
    -A castle visit with a cramped car drive back and forth.
    -90 minutes car drive Dumfries-Prestwick.
    -75 minutes flight Prestwick-Amsterdam.
    -40 minutes car drive Amsterdam-The Hague.

    I didn't had problems with the sweep eather, but with a 34" waist I'm not a big bloke...might be different for those with a more impressive belly and or butt.
