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.

Ignore what they tell you, airport security sucksMe and a couple of mates, at Birmingham airport, waiting for a plane to take us to Australia. We get bored sitting in the departure lounge and went and got a burger king to tide us over before we started getting airline food shoved in our direction.
Having finished said burger king, one of my mates decided it would be funny to inflate the paper bag it came in and pop it. We realised what he was doing just in time to shout "what are you doing, you stupid fucker!". BANG. One woman nearby screamed and dropped her bags. Others looked round panicked. I was convinced we were going to get dragged off for a stern talking-to about causing panic in post-9/11 airports. But no. Despite seriously unhinging several people, we never even saw a security bloke.
I don't apologise for length, I feel the girth makes up for it.
