An old friend of mine's dad used to be an engineer, (I think for BAL). He was a massive fan of the old black and white cowboy films. So much so he'd somehow got his security pass made out in the name of Tom Mix. Even once getting caught out crossing the apron by a fast taxying aircraft which got him intercepted by security didn't reveal his true identity.
