The laconic and morally-ambiguous yet strangely compelling outsider stood unsmiling as the lanky girl called Emma challenged him to produce additional documentation.</p> <p>"Although legislation underpinning the new generation of biometric passports has automated the identification and verification system substantially, passengers are still required to carry a passport which has a name and a photograph," a spokesperson for the airport said this morning. "In this case, the individual's passport had neither, although he did bear a passing resemblance to Clint Eastwood."</p> <p>The incident escalated when the man - now known in the airport drinking tavern, The Crown and Turbine, as 'The Man With No Name' - tapped gently on a pair of onyx-handled six-shooters and shifted his poncho slightly to reveal a bandolero heavily laden with live cartridges. He did confirm that he had packed the ammunition himself with an almost imperceptible nod. Time passed.</p> <p>Tumbleweed could be seen dancing past Bus Stand G (Long-stay and executive parking) as neither man nor girl flinched. Lone guitar notes echoed around the building, followed by an iritating bing-bong noise.</p> <p>Following a twenty-minute stand-off and fears that the security staff might invoke the special Peckinpah-based tense-scenario-resolution that would have meant several hours-worth of overtime payments for the local blood-cleaning firm, The Man With No Name lit up a cigarillo and was finally arrested on a technicality of breaking the airports non-smoking ban. </p>
