What happens with all the liquids the airport-security-people take in?

They keep it. No seriously, I have a non-artistic friend who works at a nearby airport, and they’ll keep it as if it’s their own. Water? They’ll drink it. Shampoo? They’ll use it in their hair. It’s not your’s anymore. You can bring smaller stuff, though, as long as it’s not a bloody gallon of water.

You’re trying to bring shampoo on an airplane?!? TERRORIST!!!

It be nice if they donated it to homeless shelters, but from what I seen on discovery channel they don’t , they will make a storage room where you can buy stuff like for discount prices or make auctions for serious antiques.

Hotels bid on it, then repackage and relabel it, and give it away to their customers.

@PretentiousArtist you drink bloody water?

The sell it back to real terrorists at a huge markup

Ha

Long Island Iced Tea mix in the bars?

The new guy has to drink them.

The guy at the Nashville airport SWORE to me that they donate it to a homeless shelter, but who knows. They probably donate the crap nobody wants, and keep the good stuff.

Well, homeless shelters everywhere.., here come my soap and shampoo. I had to give them up.

It varies by state. TSA often turns it over to the state, if they want it, and from there, it is usually put for sale in bulk state sales. Sometimes it ends up in the Federal “sale” flyer that other agencies can purchase items from.

Interesting how they confiscate our liquids because they might be dangerous… and then use them or sell them.

Is any testing done on these items to make sure they won’t actually blow up?

@Likeradar: I asked him that too. I’m pretty sure he said that was up to the recipient. LOL.
