If your like me, you have probably had some personal item confiscated by the TSA security agents. Since 2002, the government agency has collected more than 18 million items. The question is what to do with this junk?In cooridination with TSA officials, several states have placed the objects on eBay. However, if you want grandma's kitchen utensil you'll have to buy in bulk. So if you can use 100 pocket knives, then go to eBay and they can be yours.
I doubt this program will offset the cost of TSA operations, but it is a start. I support any idea that would lessen the burden on taxpayers. If the agency can make a few million dollars, or even a hundred thousand, I would say the eBay venture is a success.
