The moves a person makes while waiting in an airport security checkpoint as they are checking all of their pockets for metal items.
If you don't do the airport macarena, the metal detectors will beep and you will be asked to check your pockets again.

Passenger 1: Dude, calm down, whats the deal?
Passenger 2: Sorry man. My connecting flight into Atlanta was late, so I had to run an airport marathon to get here on time.

An invasive species of parasite infesting public spaces at airports. They are ravenous devourers of complimentary beverages and foodstuffs, and will quickly overrun habitats if allowed to establish a colony. Their loud and dissonant vocalizations drive away indigenous pilots and passengers, generally disrupting the fragile ecosystem of the FBO. There are no known means of eradicating an established colony, short of natural expiration.
Like a metastasizing cancer, the airport bums penetrated the lobby in a teeming plague of slack, wrinkley, wasting flesh, devouring the cookies and coffee in a sickening display of pigish rutting.

When travelling the normal rules and conventions around appropriate times to do things are relaxed.
They are relaxed such that no one should be judged for drinking, sleeping, eating etc. at what would be normally strange or judged.
Pint of beer at 7am? No problems.
Breakfast at midnight? You got it.
Shots at brunch? Why not two!?
These are know as Airport Rules.
