My favorites at PHL airport 1. High naked man getting hog tied by the cops 2. Passenger wanting to fight the cops but another passenger wound up fighting the guy instead. 3. Raccoon stealing snacks from one of the stores and heading back to the roof
I have a friend who is TSA at an airport in north eastern states, years ago he told me about a passenger who had a luggage full of locks (door locks as well as padlocks) he messaged me on AOL as he knew I am into door hardware, little did my friend know that there was a trade show/swap meet at the lock museum in CT, as for the passenger, I have a feeling I know who it was….
I witnessed a man having a very loud conversation with someone clearly not present. Security let him finish without interference. Apparent, he was upset and yelling at the person that had dropped him off at the airport. As far as I know, he was allowed to fly. I was at an adjacent gate but police never showed. Maybe he just wanted attention and it wasn’t worth getting the police involved. 🤷🏻♂️
I was travelling alone, aged about 22, and in a foreign airport, where they do not generally speak English at all, and many passengers not even French; queuing at passport control prior to boarding flight home. I was quite a long way from the front of the queue, but with my passport and ticket out ready. An armed police officer walked straight over to me, asked me to follow him.......... took me to the front of the queue and pushed me in front of the others in line, and put me through. I had followed him with a little trepidation but all my documents were in order, so not really worried. After a little explanation it turned out they were being super-nice to the 'tourists', having spotted that my passport was an international one, and not a local person, so they gave me far more special treatment than I would have looked for. It was a great trip overall, if a little strange in many ways. I had recently travelled on the overnight train, in the company of the national football team who just happened to be sat in the same seating area. And when I had arrived, I had realised I had been given quite duff information by the Travel Agent in UK, and ended up arriving at a provincial airport on connecting flight when the only official looking person on duty appeared to be the local policeman who got me a free lift in someone else' taxi because the currency exchange had closed before my plane arrived, and I had no money; And when they dropped me off at the Hospital, the nurses found me a bed in A&E overnight until my assigned Consultant arrived the next morning. Great people though, great memories. Wonderful country.
I was leaving New Orleans, I was quite sick (due to an inflamed stomach for a GI condition I have). I went through security without taking off my flops or belt (nylon with plastic buckle) walked straight to the plane which had about 12 going back to Tampa. Best flight ever other than being in the bathroom throwing up about half the flight. Mostly dry heaving. Never happier to be home and go to my doctor for meds for a condition that hadn’t happened in about 5 years
I fly a whole hell of a lot for work and I'm happy to say for the most part airports are as boring as you'd think, but every once in a while you might see airport police tackle somebody who thought they could assult airport or airlines employees and escape...in an airport...in the U.S. lol I've also had a small personal blender confiscated all while I'm thinking "Anyone who tries to use this as a weapon will likely get as far as one seat before half the plane is on them". Then they ignore my razor sharp Scotty Peeler we use to remove old identifiers from medical equipment that can actually be used as a very dangerous weapon. Keep in mind I have no intention of doing anything stupid at and airport or on a plane. On travel days I just want to land get my rental car and check into my hotel
This is my story: I'm in an airport in Germany and out of no where I hear someone call my name. It's a woman I went to school with (small class, 110 lockstep K-12). Just weird it happened.
The Great Dane story is BS. I’ve seen 2 Great Danes on planes the client is seated next to the bulk head and the dog lies on the floor. 2 separate occasions.

Each airline might be different
It might have been an extra large one
