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.

airport /storiesSo- In a mad rush to get to the Denver airport, absolutely frantic to catch a flight...I am in the line to have carry ons go through the scanner. Two others were with me going on the same flight. As they go through the scan right in front of me, I place my bag on the x-ray conveyor and take my shoes off to go through the metal detector, I suddenly remember an herb pipe in my bag! as it is passing through half way I grab the bag. Tell the checker I forgot something, look at my friends and say " I will meet you at the terminal". They are wondering what in the world is wrong, the entire group of people behind me in line wonder what is wrong. I turn around and leave immediately. Fortunately my lover who was watching from the glass levels above saw the whole crazy scene came running down to my level, I slip him the pipe, get back in line, catch the next train to the terminal and make it just as the flight is ready to leave! oh my gosh= I was reaching my hand into the x-ray machine to grab my bag as it was going through. yikes!
