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.

Bit tame this.My aunt used to live in Barbados.
I went out there (with my mum and sister) once. No problems with the flight, but when we got to Barbados airport, Customs decided to search my hand luggage by hand.
Cue one extremely embarassed 16 year old trying to explain why his hand luggage contained (as well as all the normal stuff, like books, walkman, washing gear and a change of clothes) , several cuddly toys, a pack of 500 anadin and a catering size tin of Heinz Baked Beans.
BTW, the cuddly toys were my sister's and the anadin and beans were for my aunt (apparently she could only get local brands for both).
