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.

travelling from Turkey to England...I thoguht it would be a good idea to buy a gun shaped lighter and bring it back to England to show my 15 year old friends how cool and realistic it was (truth be told, not very)Anyway, off the family go to the airport, up to the metal detectors we go and I show the friendly Trukish staff my cool new toy, just so that they knew it wasn't a gun adn was in fact a lighter - I am then seperated at gunpoint from my family and marched off and questioned in Turkish until a pilot no less came and spoke to me and told me he would have to take the 'object' onto the plane himself - he was very nice about it.
The lighter was broken when I got it back to England, but at least I got the pilot to hand me a gun whilst the plane was in flight and say 'If you'd put that to my head and said take me to Cuba I probably would have done.'
length.
