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.

hmmmi work at an airport, and have no real stories. any that i do have involve being employed there, such as the time a collegue of mine nearly walked in to a propeller...spinning at ground idle (a few hundred rpm), myself falling out of a rear service entrance (that hurt), and our fleet of aircraft that are currently grounded because the controls freeze in flight.
My only experience in an airport as a passenger was my travel companion suffering food poisoning at the airport, and on the 12 hour flight that followed.
