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.

BrazzavilleHere's a hint! Don't go to places where they are having a war.
I bet none of you have been robbed at gunpoint by anti-government militia men, who were subsequently mown down in a hail of AK-47 bullets in a running battle across the terminal building.
Everyday occurance at Brazzaville Airport in the Congo, it turns out.
I got my head stoved in, they got six hundred dollars. Then, the government turned up with more, bigger guns and killed them all.
