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.

internal flightI was flying from Southampton to Manchester to visit a few friends & generally get hammered a while back, & i'd secreted about a 1/4 of fairly potent herbal products in the bottom of my bag (hang luggage), inside a sock etc etc. i get pulled over for a check by security after i've gone through the metal detector (no probs, just a weird 6th sense on their part). they searched by jacket, my wallet, my phone etc - rubbing them with this odd machine which checked if they'd come into contact with explosives. i was understandably a bit twitchy, but they left my bag entirely alone for some reason. so i went on my way & proceeded to smoke it all before i flew back.
and paul sturrock, who managed southampton at the time was having his stuff searched at the same time as me. he was short & a bit sweaty looking.
