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.

Amsterdam..First off: I'm one of those people who completely freak out when not knowing where I am, or wher ethe people I'm with are. I even freak out in the supermarket, so you know it's bad.
The trip to Amsterdam Schiphol airport went just fine, traffic was nice, all good. Arrived there a bit early, so we (my mother and myself) had to sit around for an hour or so.
I saw an arcade machine. Not having a console at home, or any games for that matter, I begged my mum for a couple of bucks to play. She gave me some and said she'll be off for a coffee. I didn't even listen to this, and happily played some racing game. When the money was gone and I hadn't won any race, I looked around for my mum. Oh shit.
PANIC!
In my mind I was already thinking how to describe her, asked myself where I had to go if I could never found my mum back, etc. I ran around the waiting area, I think I even screamed for my mummy. In the end I found her, and it was like one of those tv shows where people haven't seen eachother for 30 years or something.
Appaloggies for boringness, but I'm traumatised!
