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.

nakedI had to visit Sweden for work, to have a bit of a poke around a Volvo factory. Lots of fun but coming home I set off the metal detector in the airport.
Aha, my belt. Take that off.
Beep.
Uh, oh shit my keys. Hang on.
Beep.
I've not got anything else. A pat down reveals my pockets are empty...
After starting to get seriously worried that the rubber gloves would be coming out, I remember that I've just come from visiting a factory.
And the apparently stylish oxford brogues I'm wearing are actually steel-capped safety shoes.
They made me take them off and have them x-rayed.
