1160727 2010-12-11 16:17:00 (ibid): accounts of kilted men going through TSA screenings (arstechnica.com)


”The TSA line lackey suggested the gentleman raise his kilt … to which the supervisor actually says, ‘That is not a good idea’”


So the big Thanksgiving airport opt-out opted-in after all and widespread "regimental" kilt-wearing never materialized.

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers were, by and large, spared a plague of True Scotsmen.

But they weren't entirely spared—and one "big-boned" patriot decided to strike his blow for freedom by giving a low-paid TSA screener the surprise of his young life.

On November 18, a "fat middle aged" blogger who goes by SubliminalPanda entered the TSA checkpoint at the Raleigh-Durham airport in North Carolina. He was wearing a kilt.

This wasn't merely a lark; SubliminalPanda had taken to the comfort of the kilt months ago, and the garment had since become his daily clothing of choice. And when you find some clothing that comfortable, do you muck up the whole experience by yanking on some underwear? No you do not.

No comments from me yet.
