Fly Kilted!

Jeffery Goldberg at The Atlantic has a novel idea for dealing with the new TSA protocols (H/T: Backyard Conservative):

By the way, it is the official position of Goldblog that everyday is opt-out day. There's no need to wait until November 24th. But come November 24th, here's an idea you might try to make the day extra-special. It's a one-word idea: Kilts. Think about it -- if you're a male, and you want to bollix-up the nonsensical airport security-industrial complex, one way to do so would be to wear a kilt. If nothing else, this will cause TSA employees to throw up their hands in disgust. If you want to go the extra extra mile, I suggest commando-style kilt-wearing. While it is probably illegal to fly without pants, I can't imagine that it's illegal to fly without underpants. I If you are Scottish, or part Scottish, or know someone who is Scottish, or eat Scottish salmon, or enjoy Scotch, or have a vestigial affection for "Braveheart" despite Mel Gibson, you can plausibly claim some sort of multicultural diversity privilege -- the term "True Scotsman" refers to soldiers who honor their tradition and heritage by wearing kilts without drawers underneath.

A quality kilt, of course is quite expensive. If you want an authentic, good quality Scottish kilt, I recommend J. Higgins, of Kansas (from whom I purchased the kilt in the photo above). For something rather cheaper, try a Sportkilt. And for that steampunk look, nothing beats a Utilikilt. I wonder if I can still fit into my kilt?

Here's what we're opposing:
