I have so many stories about the airport. I actually used to work at the airport here in Baltimore as a baggage handler. Fun job, you really get in shape and the benefits are great (free airfare U.S. and $40 International), but the pay sucks so you can really go a lot of places.
Anyway, probably one of the grossest stories is about Ghana Airlines. If you ever decide to go to Africa, do not ride this airline. You can smell the bags across the tarmac. In that part of the world, they consider rotten meat as tasty so they do not go to great lengths to preserve it.
Some of co-workers used to work over there and they said that someone had checked a "bag" that was literally the back half of a zebra that was wrapped in saran wrap. It still had the skin on and everything. They would also have these real flimsy tote bags that they would have meat in that would tear open when you try to pick it up by the handles and maggots would fall out. It's gross.
There was also a time where there was this suitcase that was ridiculously heavy, over 200lbs. So they opened it an it was filled with doorknobs.
Iceland Air was bad too because people would try to "bring back" Salmon with them and forget that something like that needs to be refrigerated.
