Airport Accessory Dos and Don'ts

I like to keep accessories simple when I travel. One thing I always wear when I'm flying is my Marc by Marc Jacobs pear pendant watch. I've had it for over two years and it has served me well, especially when my phone (which, as it is for so many other people, is my watch) must be completely shut off. While I'd love a white cermaic Chanel J12 watch I'm not waiting for that ship to come in any time soon.
So this necklace does the trick perfectly. I've also found that the less jewelry you wear when you have to move in and out of airport security, the better. That being said, please keep in mind of the context in which your accessories might be viewed in. And by that I mean please don't make the mistake my friend A. made, and pull out your punk rock belt buckle from days of yore:

I mean, duh, it's fake, but even so. He was detained by TSA agents at an airport in the United States this morning. A police report will most likely be filed. This photo was taken by A. earlier today during his detention.

So yeah. I hope this scares you straight! Please take note, everyone. And kids, leave your bullet belts at home, too! (One time my friend Paul's bullet belt was confiscated during an unexpected trip to the ER, but that's another tale to tell).
