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.

Sri LankaBack in the mid-90's when I was still legally forced to live with my parents, my dad decided that he was going to book a family Holiday to Sri Lanka.
Now i'm not saying it was a bad holiday, in fact it was my most spectacular holiday so far (not many 14 year olds can say that they travelled two hundred miles on a train with their dad and 500 other school kids playing hide and seek on the way to see a giant gold Budda) but as many may know, Sri Lanka is still at civil war to a degree and we just happened to return to Colombo airport when two planes were shot at with grenade luanchers.
Not only were we stuck in the airport for what seemed like forever but the occasional gunfire from the gun emplacements around the terminal didn't help.
Exciting tho :)
