This is a question Airport Stories

Back 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.

This happened before 9/11..thank god....
Me and some mates decide to go to kos on a booze up. All going well, few jars in the airport bar and what not, until we get to security, and whilst standing in the que, my mate,(we shall call him "R", long curly/girly hair tied in a pony tail, tree surgeon so hands
all cut and scratched teh fuck, the most likely looking ganja smoker ever, even tho he has never touched the stuff)decides, becuase it sound funny, to say loudly to his girl "Don't mention the bomb in my bag!"

WOOOOSH!!

All fucking hell breaks loose!, about 4 security just pile him, and drag him off out of sight........We think, ok, just keep going and meet him at the gate,so when the final boarding call comes we are all a tad concerned.....
****2 days later***
All sitting round the pool relaxing, when in walks "R", with his gripping tale of the last 2 days.

Even tho he explained clearly that he was "just having a laugh". The security told him that he had issued a bomb warning, and they had to take all such statements seriously, even if they are made by tree-hugging hippies...So, he misses the flight, gets severly bollocked by security and leaves Gatwick airport to then find out that the only available flight within the next 3 days is from Bristol and he has to get a bus there right away coz he hasn't got much time.

Needles to say he was quite as a lamb on the
way home.....Thank god it was before 9/11,
I dread to think what they would have done to
him after that.....

Sorry for the length, but mummy says it makes me special.....
