A 78-year-old woman said she misunderstood instructions from a check-in agent at Stockholm's Arlanda International Airport in 2008. Instead of placing her luggage onto a baggage chute, as instructed, she plopped herself down on it! Reclining on the conveyer belt of the unmanned chute like a tray in a cafeteria dishwasher, she traveled to the baggage handling area before someone rescued her. Unhurt, she made her flight to Germany.
The dumbest thing we think anyone ever tried to get through security and carry onto a plane? A fully gassed-up power chainsaw. The second-dumbest thing? A dead relative in a wheelchair (to avoid paying the fee for transporting a body).
A U.S. citizen traveling from Tel Aviv in 2008 told authorities at John F. Kennedy International Airport that he had nothing to declare. His definition of nothing? More than $1.2 million in diamonds.
What should you do if you're running late for a flight? Why, phone in a fake bomb threat, of course. That's what a German sports reporter did when he was racing to catch a plane to go cover a 2008 soccer match. His plan might have worked if he didn't give himself away by calling to inquire about the yet-to-be-announced delay.
A woman tried a similar scheme in 2009 when her boss in Miami was behind schedule for his flight to Honduras. She followed up a bomb threat telephone call with an e-mail, which was later traced.
