    I think folk are getting a bit excited about setting the detectors off. Changing buckles and doing velcro seems all very very excessive.

    (I flew about 20 times in my kilt last year)

    I have flown several times kilted since 9/11 (today!) and only worry about the sgian dubh.... everything else is just window dressing!

    I don't make any special allowances - other than the sgian dubh!

    Setting off detectors also depends on the airport. In a UK, I always set off the alarms in Cincinnati, but have never set it off in NY, Norfolk or Avoca.

    We were discussing this over lunch at Court today and the Magistrate said he was stopped at airport security and given the option of either binning the kilt pin he was wearing or going back into the check-in area and buying an envelope and stamp and posting it home.
    Needless to say he chose to post it home.
    The other alternative of course would be to check in the kilt pin as luggage before proceeding through security but some airlines will charge extra for carrying a kilt oin as hold luggage and returning it to you at destination.

    This would make a case for kilt pins with those super strong magnets I have seen around, as long as the shape of the pin itself didn't make waves.
