on the plane

No problem. I usually do not wear a kilt pin when flying on scheduled airlines but last month when I flew to Ireland I wanted to wear my Hamilton kilt to which the clan badge is permanently attached (I superglued the fixing pin after attaching the badge to the kilt).
I checked with airport security in advance and they said it would be no problem and indeed it did not cause any difficulties on the day.

As the others have said, there is really no problem - in fact, as always, it's the most comfortable way to travel.

I recently went to Poland by air and noticed, for the first time that there is actually a benefit to being kilted through the security check. As usual I had to take off my sporran (and belt - why did I not think of leaving the belt in my checked bags? I will remember that for next time.) and realised that this was actually the easiest way to get the coins etc. through the checkout. I did not have to "empty my pockets" then scrabble up the coins from a box afterwards, just unfasten, re-fasten the sporran.

I was flying last month kilted (on my way to and back from a professional convention reported on another thread). My sporran was not counted as a piece of carry on, just as fanny packs etc were not. This may be particular to the airline, so it may be well to check. Wearing the sporran made going through security a breeze. I didn't run my belt through the belt loops, so I just undid the belt, put it, sporran, keys on belt hook, and all in the plastic box on the conveyor, walked through the metal detector and put the belt back on. No pulling things out of and putting back into pockets, etc. Flint has a very nice airport, as small airports go, and the community is very diverse. The TSA folks there have seen it all, and a kilt should not be an issue.
