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.

It's tea, honest guvWhile on holiday in Turkey I decided to buy a couple of bags of the local "apple tea" to take back (you couldn't get it in England at the time). Stuck in it in the bottom of my rucksack and thought no more of it.
Until, that is, customs at Gatwick decided to pull me over and search my luggage on the way back and pulled out two sealed clear plastic bags packed with light brown powder. Hmmmmm. Managed to avoid the rubber glove treatment as the tea actually does smell of apple.
