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.

Deadly weaponsMy toe nail clippers got confiscated in Dubai airport. I can imagine the scene, "Hand over control of the plane so I can fly it into a famous yankee landmark or I'll pinch your earlobe really hard with these clippers".
This pissed me off; I can say now that it is pretty much impossible to procure nail clippers in Sri Lanka. I had to master a type of Aruverdic Yoga in order to become flexible enough to trim my toenails with my teeth.
