During the passage of a personal inspection, passengers often forget to take away a trifle taken out of their own pockets. In 2012, US airports managed to accumulate an astronomical amount of half a million dollars in this way.

531 thousand dollars - so much trifles unwittingly "scraped" at checkpoints The Transport Security Administration of the country (TSA) . As the representatives of the department clarified, from above 10 thousand dollars annually forget passengers in each of the 13 largest airports in the US . The record holder for the amount of collected small items was the air haven of Miami: from January to December 2012, travelers left on the control of mail 40 thousand dollars . It is obvious that such unprecedented generosity is associated with increased absenteeism of vacationers overheating on local beaches .

Of course, the amount collected will be spent for good purposes, namely "improving the safety of civil aviation" in an official report
