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.

SabinaA few years ago I was in Africa, doing research in a game park. We had no access to the outside world unless we left the research station and took an hour drive in the landy to the nearest village.
One week into the expedition we went to the local village (Nanuki if memory serves) and I got a copy of the local daily paper.
on page 34, halfway down I noticed Sabina had gone into receivership. My ticket was for Sabina, so I spent a week in the bush wondering if I was actually going to get home!!!!
oh, and flying out was on 23/09 two weeks after the world trade centre was hit... security was ridiculous.
