I fly TSA Precheck often so rarely encounter this problem anymore.
The new scanning machines, Millimeter Wave Scanners, often show false positives. These false readings normally happen around creases, folds, and thick overlaps. My 25oz IH denim almost always sets off these machines, specifically in the waist.Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

nope never had the problem with security. pockets empty and i always take of my belt cause that's the one that beeps. other than that, mostly i've been fine with boots, just sometimes anal arses ask me to take them off. that's when it's a hassle…

Updating this from Osaka now. This was about a week ago, last day for tokyo pt 1 and had some morning breakfast in tsukiji market before heading to queue for my goros. not much during the day as time was spent queuing but still did managed to visit RMC store and buy a N1 deck jacket i've been eying for awhile now..
Goros has a much different system in queuing since 2 years ago that i went. they now queue at 11 for a raffle number and you will be that number you get. and if you're above a certain number, you can come back at 3pm instead. pretty bummed cause the wallet was all i got. was number 82 and i've only got in about 6/7 in the evening and all the feathers were gone. i rather their 6am FCFS system..

Greetings from snowy hokkaido. the 5 days i was there, the temps have never gone above -2C. first day in hokkaido, flew in from tokyo… hit the ground running by visiting the historical village and Mt Moiwa to get a good view of hokkaido at night from afar..
The historical village of hokkaido has some really great mock up houses donated by people and it shows the old days of the ainu people presumably the native people of hokkaido.

Ramen Street is one of sapporo's famous place. being the birthplace of ramen in sapporo, it's kind of their delicacy. i had two different stores for dinner but my most favourite is still to come on the last day.

great post nizzel! between your both pairs, i'd say the SI looks much better at this point. this haven't seen much wear have they?
-
Thanks @louisbosco . My UHR have only been worn for 88 days compared to the 204 days the 666SII have been worn.

Hit Niseko for the day. Fresh powder and really cold weather for the day. The low was about -13 and tops was probably about -4. I'm by no means a good snowboarder, probably have only done it a handful of times, very underprepared this time and should definitely invest in a gopro for future use. Powder in niseko was really good, hit Hanazono's Silver dream course and Hirafu for 1 night run. Fresh powder kept coming down during the day and into the night so it was really good.

We hit the city after Niseko and did some sightseeing for the day. A visit to Okurayama Ski Jump which hosted the the first winter olympics in Asia, Sapporo Beer Museum and the Sapporo Factory which used to be a brewery for the Sapporo beer company and now is a mall. Honestly, the mall was quite underwhelming and quiet. other than that, the views from the top of the ski jump was breathtaking and the beer museum was informative..
i have to say i did enjoy the sapporo classic quite thoroughly. Very strong flavours of malt. as opposed to the natural tasting first ever sapporo beer Kaitakushi or the normal exported fruity sapporo black.
