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.

And I though yanks were badlast year the misses went to uni in america for a year, so i decide to suprise her by flying out for her birthday. Anyway 1 week before i had the foresight to put my passport in the washing machine, it was still readable - sort of.
So i roll up to heathrow at 6am, the check in desk bint says,
"i can't let you go- the americans won't let you in with that"
(cue look of disgust) so i said, "well i am getting on that plane" (especially as it had cost me £500 of my hard earned student loan) she says "alright but you'll have to sign an indemnity, if the americans won't let you in you'll have to pay us £2k to fly you back again" well i go for it,
spent the entire flight sweating like a peado in school at the thought of being kicked out of the USA, anyways i get ther go to passport control in philiadelphia, and the immigration guy laughs at me and says " next time don't go swimming with your passport" lets me staright on in. cashback
On the return flight the uk equivelent won't let me back into my own country as she thinks it's a fakes passport so i said" fuck off are you sending me back and forth across the atlantic because you have PMT," (cue being taken to a back room to see her supervisor) took 15 minutes of persauding to convince them to get my mum to bring my birth certifcate so that they would let me back into my own country!!! fuckers
