Tsa Confiscated Items
And despite cynical suggestions from angry
travelers that security officers keep the items for themselves, the TSA
turns over the property to state agencies and commercial vendors,which
cart it away to sell.Although public auctions yield a fraction of
retail prices,dozens of states have found some revenue in the
contraband.
"It's kind of amazing what people
will try to take on board,"says Troy Thompson,spokesman for
Pennsylvania's Department of General Services,which takes some of the
contraband."To them (passengers),it's an item that's not threatening,but in these days and times it is threatening."Pennsylvania collects truckloads of items from airports, including City's John F.Kennedy,LaGuardia and Newark Liberty.The state has
raised $700,000 from selling them since 2004,Thompson says.The most sought-after items by buyers are among the most often left behind: pocket knives,scissors and corkscrews,
