That’s a good thing, since TSA agents pick up a whole lot of hazardous stuff, including knives, guns, and explosives. The TSA at Miami International Airport displays confiscated carry-on items, including some very colorful knives. Oh, and it’s an urban myth that TSA officers swipe the fancy bottle of Scotch you bought on the trip for themselves. The majority of the items surrendered (or just forgotten) at airport security actually wind up in a state-sponsored auction on GovDeals.com. It’s like the airport security circle of life.
