Not a problem at any other European airports, is this a Trafi regulation or?
Noticed this one too. I always dress without belt if I'm flying through HEL...

And they always insist on the full undress even when the "offending" object (metal part) is not present. The insistence beyond reason is typical HEL.

Sometimes CPH also asks people to remove belt, but not as often and not as persistent. I guess they are better trained on hand scanning and search (if scanner does react).
