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.

My father-in-law last weekwas flying back from Canada. He'd been out in the mountains with his wife, but she was staying on for another week at a conference. So she didn't need the various bike lights they'd taken with them to use as torches whilst out in the wilderness.
Now shoes often get crushed in your bag - I usually pad them out with socks, but he was quite pleased to find that the bike lights were a perfect fit...
... Vancouver airport security were less pleased after their scanner showed he was carrying a pair of shoes stuffed full of wires and batteries.
