What does TSA do with your lost, confiscated stuff?
KTHV goes behind the security walls of the TSA to find out what happens to the items agents either confiscate or lost items left on flights (www.usatoday.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
A bunch of TSA style agents at LHR were arrested for rifling through the trash bins and selling items at the local swap meet II bet it could happen here)
In Texas it ends up at one of 3 of 4 state surplus property disposal sites where anyone can walk in and buy it.
There are tubs and tubs of pocket knives , multitools cork screws tools all kinds of stuff.
Then there is the usual stuff like office furniture and state trooper cars and trucks etc.

The guns are melted down.......I wonder what happened to that $125.00 bottle of Perfume my wife had to drop?
It seems to me there could be a market for a self-serve kiosk at airports where it can dispense prepaid envelopes. They would be big enough to enclose small items that can be dropped into the receptacle for mailing. It would charge a pretty good premium over actual mailing but that beats losing something that might be of much greater value or even sentimental value.
I know all TSA stations ar not created equal, but I "mispacked' on a commercial trip from JAX packing my toilet bag with my carry on. In it was an old restaurant style cork screw-bottle opener. ("Semper Paratus"). While I found the young agent a bit rude, he did ask if I wanted to mail it to myself since I could not take aboard.
Bernie, I'm with Leighton. What do slave wages have to do with common sense?
I just read on Airnation.com of a TSA agent wanting a commericial airline pilot to break off the file on his swiss army knife. The pilot said "look Dumbass I have a crash hammer right next to me in the cockpit and you want me to do what? Why does the govt hire swiss army dildoes for TSA agents?
