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.

While Working ...at Heathrow, airside, removing the reduntant watchman radar, we saw concord(e) take off twice a day for a week, while we were 100 feet up a tower, and no more than 250 feet from the runway itself.
Absolutely phenomenal. It's the most satisfying noise I've ever heard in my life.
Also, while working in Holland, I've been through Schipol airport security a few times with my skater style jeans nearly round my knees after they asked me to remove my belt. Mmmm, Dignified.
