Today, after not seeing my boyfriend for 9 months, he came to meet me at the airport. I was so excited when I first saw him that I broke into a sprint to greet him. Apparently, running through the airport looks suspicious, because a security guard tackled me. Now I have a broken nose. FML

Running through the airport looks romantic on movies - in real life? Not such a great idea. The security guard probably should have tried to do something nonphysical to stop you first, before tackling, though...

That guard knows where it's at, because all terrorists use airport terminals to go jogging ;)

I think the issue, from the perspective of Security, is that in all likelihood the OP was running towards the area where people exit from the Gates, towards the big "No Entry" signs, as if to get through. Benign intentions, but somewhat suspicious if you think everyone you see is a terrorist. To a normal, rational person just a fine behavior, but evil from the perspective of the TSA.

I agree. That is the most probable situation. OP probably was waiting near that sign, the closest point for non ticketed individuals to go, and ran up to her bf who was coming out of it...

Read the FML again...her boyfriend was meeting HER at the airport, so SHE was the one coming out of the security area, hence running AWAY from security...

She was the one travelling - she was running away from the gate to her boyfriend. And in every airport I've been to recently, you can't get through security and into the gate areas if you don't have a boarding pass. So unless this airport had a different policy or was just really ******* small, she would have already left the boarding areas and gone past security to even see her boyfriend waiting for her.

....the hell? I think there's more to this story than you've told us, OP. A security guard wouldn't just out-of-the-blue tackle you. He must have yelled at you first, caught your eye and gestured for you to stop, or gotten your attention and warned you first. Maybe you didn't notice these things, though, which is why you kept going, and he thought you had noticed but were refusing to obey. Either way, people are late or rushed in the airports all the time, and have to run, and I don't see them getting tackled. Hope you're OK, though, if this story is true.

Did you seriously just say running through airports isn't smart? So if you're late for your flight you're just supposed to take the scenic route there?

If he boyfriend was coming to pick her up then I am assuming she was running towards the exits and not towards security. But ran in an airport before when my fiance came back from France after being there for 3 weeks. I ran towards where people out from (not towards an exit) and didn't get yelled at or tackled. I halfway tackled my fiance though haha.
