A thought has been rattling around in my noggin' for a couple years: why
doesn't the USPS, UPS or FedEx open offices in the airports specifically
for the purpose of shipping items that would be confiscated at the
checkpoints? Hell, they could even offer to hold the item at the
recipient's closest terminal until a specific date the recipient would
return to accept delivery. Granted, most items wouldn't be worth the
shipping cost, but take the lighter or the Medal of Honor incidents. Or
the special pair of sewing scissors Grandma received from Grandpa on
their 50th?


I recall seeing something like that at Cleveland Hopkins a while back.
They had something like a vending machine that sold pre-paid padded
envelopes and a place to drop them to be mailed.

Dunno if it is still there.
