I'm getting a pair of cargo pants tomorrow - sounds like the flying 
looper's trouser of choice!

I love the thought of belting those pants with wrapped cables, but isn't 
that a big pain to take off for the x-ray machines?

And have I just been unaware of scales at check-in for carry-on stuff? 
Is that happening in Europe but not the States as yet? I've definitely 
had more than 10 kg before.
