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.

Security checks - my arseOn a business trips with a few colleagues I was coming back from Tokyo via Vienna to Munich. No hint of any trouble what so ever in Tokyo, hand luggage was checked without any complaints. Upon arrival in Vienna we had to leg it to our next flight. Only to be stopped at hand luggage check by a security officer telling one of my colleagues to remove the leatherman knife from his backpack. Turns out he had a knife with a 3" blade in his hand luggage. And nobody noticed in Tokyo. What are these security checks good for?
