If you have ever wondered what happens to the countless barrels of personal items that the US Transportation Security Administration (TSA) confiscates (steals) from air travelers every single day, you might be surprised to know that state governments are now reselling these supposedly "dangerous" items in government surplus stores for extra revenue.

I read that this morning and was like WTF?
Why don't they just
A. Tell the people that fly out that if they are flying back to said airport they may pick it up at a "holding area" or locker system..
B. They have shipping services right there to ship items to new destination/or home.
I would totally destroy the # before they confiscated it...liquids/creams/etc. squirt them out/spit in them before giving it to them..everything else destroy..

Yeah, I haven't flown since 2002 and I don't plan on it anytime soon. Unfortunately TSA is now venturing into other modes of transportation.
From what I've seen of DHS and especially TSA, I'd rather take my chances with the terrorists.

That is the single most stupid thing I have ever read on ATS. And that is saying a lot. Spoken like a true person living in their mom's basement that knows nothing about the real world.
