All those pennies really add up. What happens to the nearly half a million dollars left behind at security checkpoints annually?

TSA agents write the darndest notes! Hopefully if this is legit that employee remains anonymous lest he lose his job.
Airport is super hot on the BuzzFeed Network right now. Here's all the best viral buzz on Airport.
Culture Buzz
Oh Big Brother, you so hilarious. But seriously, so bitching about getting molested pattted down is an indicator that you've got a bomb strapped to your chest? And not that, I don't know, you're irritated about some chick in rubber gloves getting to second base without even buying you dinner first?

Overhauling airport security in the United States may mean more than a technological restructuring - it may require an ideological sea change.
Instead of taking the boring way through airport security, a man lives the dream and rides through the x-ray machine.
The entire Newark Airport was just evacuated because a guy slipped through security by walking the wrong way through the exit of a terminal checkpoint. When they finally find the guy, that mob of people are going to cannibalize him with their bare hands.
If you look at the statistics, you've got a way higher chance of dying from a lightning strike than a crotchbomber. This chart puts it all into perspective.
Evan Roth takes you through airport security in a new way. And you might actually enjoy it this time.
Politics Buzz The Minneapolis airport bathroom where Sen. Larry Craig was caught cruisin' for a bruisin' is losing its appeal as a tourist destination, officials say. Since he didn't seek reelection last fall, the former jetsetting Senator will now resort to the life of a truck stop lot lizard, perhaps one day bringing fame to some lucky backcountry “Flying J”. Move on, tourist hoards. Nothing to see here.
Culture Buzz A new security scanner being tested in Australia can see through clothing and is being described as a “virtual strip search.” Here’s hoping there’s not a screenshot feature with the new technology, or your genitals might be gracing your ex’s Facebook profile REAL soon. In the meantime, those security agents’ job description just got a whole lot better.
The Transportation Security Administration has installed a number of people-scanners at airports that can see through your clothes. The images are high resolution, and are created by hitting you with millimeter-wavelength radio waves.
Science Buzz The British have developed a new camera called the ThruVision T5000 System that can see through clothes at up to 80ft away. Before your perverted heart goes all aflutter, you’ll be disappointed to find out that the x-ray exposes no physical anatomical details, and the technology will probably only be used in airports to like, make sure you’re not carrying a machine gun or a giant block of cocaine.
