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.

as a stupid hippy druggy teenagergrowing up in australia, when my mother couldnt cope with me anymore i was shipped off to the UK to live with my father. 13 years old, on my own, transferring planes in bangkok airport, i had a large lump of cannibis hidden in my shoe (such a naive idiot, no real idea what the consequences would be)
walking though the gates, two armed guard with a big dog suddenly approached me. I'm there with a ripped chili peppers t-shirt, dredlocks, looking like a total prat, i thought i was done for.
they brushed right past me and grabbed the guy in a nice suit behind me, and took him off through a doorway. i boarded the next plane with my heart thumping in my mouth.
15 years on, i still find it embarrassing now to look back at myself.
