Is a piece of rope considered a belt?
I had occasion to take a flight recently, there was a scruffy looking guy wearing a dirty T-shirt, jeans held up by a piece of rope tied around his waist.
I wonder if they made him remove the rope from his pants. I didn't think about that possibility/question at the time.

about chain belts which are (or were) commonly worn by women. Anything that could be used as a garrote could be suspect and that include purse straps. How far do we need to go before reasonable caution becomes unreasonable paranoia?

they only give the perception of security - and to harass passengers.
