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.

.I Work with a security company in Iraq, for security company read, a bunch of Mercenaries, all ex army spec ops etc so they have a pretty wild idea for wind ups. Of some that have happened whilst transiting through Baghdad airport to the outside world, are rounds ( bullets) stuck into somebody’s bags or coat jacket lining, explosives guns, grenades etc, but the best wind up is this one.
As you live in the same accommodation as 4 or 5 others you have access to each others kit. Easy thing to obtain is a sheet of card, then cut letters out from tinfoil spelling your message, slide this into the bottom section of a bag that will be scanned and the worlds your mollusc. X-ray messages stand out such as I HAVE DRUGS, BOMB IN BAG and such produce many a belly laugh, especially when your mate gets dragged to a police cell overnight and misses his flight out of this s***hole
