I know shoes have to come off, even if they're just flip-flops, but I'm wearing a cheapy cloth belt with a simple metal buckle. Will it need to be removed at the security checkpoint as well? it's been a long time since I've flown!

No belts are okay unless they use the wand and have suspisions then they could ask you to undo it. They asked me to undo mine :)

It depends on the type of belt. The TSA will not make you take it off, unless the notice it to have huge metal buckle ,but many belts will set the alarm off. So you are better off taking it off when you are tal=king other things off.
One time I forgot to take mine off and it didnt set the alarm off. But i still do it anyway.

If the belt bucket is bulky, you better remove it - in general, everything that is somehow thick and bulky, like a pack of handkerchiefs or a large watch, may make trigger the alarm

It depends on the airport.
Now they have x-ray machines that take a picture through all your clothes, so it's not necessary to take anything off.
