Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Sunday, January 15, 2012

Airline passengers left more than $400,000 at airport security checkpoints operated by the Transportation Security Administration last year, money that goes to the agency if the owners are not found. Rep. Jeff Miller (R-Fla.) wrote a bill in 2009 to make the TSA give that money to United Service Organizations. "There is no incentive for TSA to try to return the forgotten change to its rightful owner," Miller said.

They probably spent more that 1 million dollars to collect it!

Don't leave them pennies! They are worth .02-.03 these days. You could double your money by buying and selling pennies.

Hmmmm... What does it say when the copper in a penny is worth more than the face value of the currency? Probably not a good sign...

Don't have many gold coins, do ya pal?

pennies are made of zinc

"pennies are made of zinc, and my penis is made of latex. And now you know the rest of the story."

"Watch out for "transitional" mint errors! "Transitional" errors occurred on the Lincoln Memorial Cents when the Mint accidentally used copper blanks for 1983 pennies. These "wrong stock" pennies weigh 3.1 grams, rather than the 2.5 of the zinc cents. If you find a copper 1983, it just might be worth... a pretty penny!"

They reported $400K but how much did they pocket? And don't tell me they didn't pocket it $40K a year or whatever they make doesn't even begin to cover the cheap thrills....er disgust they have to endure with the countless firm nubile bimbos....er potential terrorists they fondle....er frisk everyday

So I won't hire YOU to run my cash register. Noted.

Maybe they will use the money to hire someone who actually has common sense.

Just a note on the pennies- it's any penny dated 1981 and earlier that's all copper. Worth about three cents/piece now, and will only go up.

"what can be asserted without evidence can also be dismissed without evidence."

I hear the same is true for the plants that shred old cars for recyling. The loose change left in them adds up pretty quick.

Chump change. Help and inflation, melt it down.

$400k in tips. TSA must be doing a better job than the MSM is letting on.
