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.

PillsKorhogo Airport, Ivory Coast. Sweating like a rapist waiting to get through customs cuz Africa is bleedin hot.
Officious security bod stops me and finds some suspicious looking pills on my person. He dosn't speak English, I don't speak French. Spent ten minutes miming 'they stop you getting the shits', with added grimicing, gesticulating, and straining... Damn well nearly shat my pants from all the effort.
Then security bod says - in his best barritone impersination of James Earl Jones doing the voiceover for Darth Vader, "have a nice trip to Abidjan International, the weather's lovely up there at the moment."
