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.

NY officialsNew York - JFK Airport. Waiting in line to get through the customs (where they fingerprint you, take your photo, and make you sign away your first born just so you can stay there for 3 months). There was a yellow line on the floor with a sign saying 'dont step over this until its your turn'. Fair enough. Of course, there was a family in front of me with a 5 year old boy who kept running around and being a bit unruly. Cue the enormous, donut laden gun toting power freak (who was clearly stupider than a great big bag of stupidity) running over, and yelling at the little boy 'step BEHIND the yellow LINE, SIR!!!!!'
utter knobjockey.
