Manchester Airport Is For Lovers

Manchester Airport isn't such a bad place to spend part of your VD in. Besides the mood lighting, its also set up a secret password program for Valentine's Day. Yup, you heard us right. Pax smuggling engagement rings and other romantic surprises can whisper the password to security personnel, who will screen them in a way that doesn't blow their cover in front of a date. But doesn't the password itself kind of give everything away? Then again, you know they'd consider just about anything else a bomb scare.

MAN also apparently has some of the craziest passengers anywhere. A new report on the state of security at the airport includes a listing of incidents involving angry travelers rebelling against liquid restrictions. That includes a guy who pissed straight into zip-top bag to protest the rules. What his point was, or how that proved it, we're not entirely sure. But he's still our new hero.
