I've only run into one randomly kilted guy in my life, in fact.
Just flew from Phoenix to Vegas and back. The kilt pins where the items that caused a delay, and the buckles beeped the wand too. All the security people were nice, I had my PC so I got to talk bagpipes too. Gave one of the Gents the XMarts website as he's wanting to get a kilt before he goes to Scotland. Anyone know any kilt pins being made of non-metal? I could put that on a Thrifty-Kilt and be "no beep".
With the rod in my leg and the silver woven compression stocking on, I get the "royal treatment" regardless of what I wear....so when I fly next in August, I just might wear a UK Workman's for the heck of it. The snaps alone on that thing might make the metal detector overheat!..
I have quite a few friends in the Tartan Army and they neverhave a problem. Although you should remove your sgian dubh (obviously) even if it is a dummy one and kilt pin also. If youre wearing boots like timberlands you will probably be asked to remove them to put them through the scanner. That's all I think
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
