Airport StoriesBack when I was a moody teenager I took a cheap flight that involved changing planes and having to go through security again. My bags were pre-checked so, when I set off the metal detector, I honestly said to the security guy that I had no idea what had set it off.
Until, that is, he searched me and found the metal knife and fork stamped "KLM" I'd nicked off the previous flight.
Tell us your best airport stories.

Oh DearWell this story might be a repost, if a fellow b3tan hasn't already posted it.
Heck i'll tell it anyway.
Me and friends, were going on a lads holiday to sunny, warm, guinness laden dublin (fantastic you might say, which it was).
Bearing in mind the date we travelled on this wonderous journey was 14/7 last year. Yes one week after the bombings in london.
So we get off the plane at 11:59 and take a walk to the terminal. What we didnt know being generally loud teenage lads was that on the plane they did announcement for a two minute silence for the bombing victims at 12:00.
You can see where this is going cant you?
Well anyway, arriving to the terminal we notice that its quiet and noone is moving. So my friend Tim shouts "Jesus christ!, its like a fucking funeral precession in here."
Quick as a flash my next friend comes into the terminal then shouts "Have they not heard of fast-tracking round here?".
A little old lady tugs on my jacket and quietly explains why noone is moving and its quiet.
"Oh" says i.
I could of died.
