Fortunately here's a few travel items that can enable one to go out in style while keeping one's possessions safe.

Instead of carrying items in one's pockets, simply put these items in one of the vest's many pockets. Then take off the vest and slip through security. No more getting beeped because of some metal left in one's pockets or losing an small item that somehow got misplaced during the TSA screening process.
