The key as a garment
CLAIM
Carrying an object is forbidden. A garment is not an object — it is worn.
MECHANISM
THE LOOPHOLE — ACCEPTED
The key is forged into a belt buckle. You are not carrying it — you are wearing it. The source is explicit that a key merely hung on a belt does NOT qualify: it has to BE the buckle, so that without it the belt does not hold.

the key is worn, it is never a load:
it's forged into the buckle of the belt,
and without it the whole belt drops —
that is the letter of the code.
