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.

airline sponsored weaponryMy brother, when flying home for christmas, made the mistake of pre-wrapping the parents gifts..when going through security in an unspecified airport in California, the nice airline people had to slice open his carefully wrapped gifts, to make sure there was nothing untoward inside. Upon arriving in the UK, my brother discovered, much to his glee, that he had unwittingly smuggled onto his flight one of the box cutters that the airport staff had used to slice open his festive treats. stamped 'property of XXX airline' and everything.
He was going to send it to them with a polite note pointing out their error, but in the end kept the offending article as a souvenir.
