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.

This Isn't the Terrorist you are looking for...My Father and myself have the same first and last names.. Fair enough.. However, this is also obviously the name of someone who's on the FBI/CIA/MOD blacklist for being 'wanted'. This leads to much hilarity (or not) when going anywhere via plane.
We obviously get flagged up and, both times we have travelled to Florida (and my dad goes to the US more often), I get frisked.
So far, in the last 4 plane journeys (Floria x2, Corfu and internal flight to Edinburgh), i have been frisked a whopping 16 times! (going out, coming in, going out, coming in for each journey)
Ok, I'm 20, have long hair, wear baggy trousers etc... But do I obviously look like THAT much of a threat?
Fucksocks.
Length? Girth? They should know.. Its more than once someone's copped a feel (accidental or otherwise) while frisking!
