Belt That Is TSA Friendly

[jyl]

Does anyone use a belt that you don't have to remove for airport security?. Like with a plastic buckle or something?

If you know of such a thing that you'd recommend, I'm all ears!

I have to go through a metal detector several times a day and this is what I wear.

I just wear a normal leather belt with metal buckle. Never a problem.

Carbon Fiber Gear | Carbon Fiber is the New Black® has one that has a CF buckle and all leather so no metal. But it's pricey!

If you aren't looking for dress wear, this would do and Bison makes good stuff. Bison Designs Carbonator Carbon Fiber Webbing Belt | Carbon Fiber Gear

Thanks. I was hoping someone made a belt that was just a normal belt, no Kevlar or tactical, with a standard buckle made from plastic. Maybe I need to go shopping at the dollar store.

That's just get you a buckle that's painted pot metal.

Cabela's has a poly-strand, web-weave, belt that I have not had to remove. The buckle is either plastic or a light alloy - it is non-magnetic.

The Cabela's buckle looks fine. I would prefer a leather belt, though - for suits and so on.

Okay, I think I am reduced to getting a plastic Fastex-type buckle and putting a leather belt on it. I'll look like an imbecile, but only to those peering closely at my belt buckle.

Mine has a brass buckle, non ferrous, and is never an issue.

Just take a tip from Jethro Bodine.....

What's wrong with the carbon fiber buckles?

[jyl]

They are great, but $160 for a plain looking belt?

REI sells Bison design belts for $20ish. Plastic buckles. Mines is alum, I think. I still take it off at TSA. Quick and easy. B

I found these

Plastic buckle, silicone belt. The buckle is the conventional dress belt sort of thing, I suspect it would pass for black metal at any distance beyond "intimate".

Or just the buckle

For the guys whose non ferrous belt buckles haven't been a problem at security, does that include the backscatter scanners? If I recall, even a plastic pen in my pocket was seen with those.

[gordner]

I won't use the backscatter scanners I opt for a pat down, those things are not a good idea in my opinion if you travel frequently.
