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.

the swatch geekAnother quick story: while waiting for a flight at Newark, I was wandering around, and went into a Swatch shop. I was wearing a Swatch I bought in London, and the kid behind the counter saw it and... flipped. "What a cool chrono! Can I see it?!" Practically ripped it off my wrist, gazed at it longingly, took it to the back for a minute to buff up the glass. For all I know he took a picture of it.
Must have been a model they didn't get in the USA... 8)
