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.

My daughter was working in Switzerlandand invited her cousin over for a weekend's beer-punishment.
He eagerly accepted, and kindly agreed to take her a bag of clothes from home.
The bag was of course opened at Geneva Airport.
'Is this your bag, Sir? Did you pack it?'
Yes, of course.
Nephew somehow kept his composure as a stream of girly underwear emerged from the bag, and coped admirably with the appearance of the Bunny suit, complete with rabbit ears and pin-on tail.
Nothing illegal was found so Nephew was soon free to go.
'Pink - not really your colour, Sir...' murmured the Customs bods as they whistled, closed the case and waved Nephew on his way.
