Travellers in a rush to gather their belt, shoes, liquids and laptops from the trays at security screening often leave behind a few coins – by mistake, not as a tip!
In the United States, the Transport Security Administration gets to keep all money left behind. All those pennies soon turn into dollars!
Are you one of the many that are unwittingly helping to keep the TSA afloat? Is this how you arrive at your destination?

The TSA annual budget is over 7 billion (according to Wikipedia) so this is a sep in the ocean Another god reason for it to go to charity rather than the government.

And I need to find out what happens here in the UK. Maybe the same thing.

That’s where I naively thought it would go. But apparently not. It goes into TSA coffers.
