Good idea for airport security checkpoints
There’s a new player in some United States airports (both Houston airports, New York’s LaGuardia, Liberty in Newark, N.J., and Dulles in Washington): ReturnKey (www.itemreturn.com), which promises to ship items confiscated at the airport security check.
From the AP:
If a Transportation Security Administration agent wants to confiscate an item, the traveler would be directed to the ReturnKey kiosk by the agent, said Steve Kranyec, ReturnKey’s president. The unit asks for a mailing address and verifies it against postal records. It also asks travelers to identify the item and if it is a dangerous parcel, locks the customer out. The system doubles as a conventional postal mailbox.
I like that idea …
