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.

While it isn't VERY interesting,when I was seven I spent four hours in Tashkent Airport, in Uzbekistan, waiting for an Uzbek Airways flight to Thailand. I watched a Russian TV show about cossacks or somesuch and ate the national dish, which was runny mashed potato, and everybody I looked at seemed depressed or likely to kill me without a thought.
I only learnt later about the grave human rights abuses going on in that country and one day I like to think I'll go back and overthrow their government, but I probably won't, so never mind.
