03/19/2003 Entry: "Confiscated Sharp Objects"

confiscated scissors

At the Portland International Airport, people have few options when potentially dangerous items are found on them during security check-in. Most of these tweezers, nail files and swiss army knives are voluntarily surrendered by their owners. Up until now, all of this stuff was ending up at thrift stores, but now the Oregon Department of Administrative Services is auctioning them on ebay, giving you the ability to bid on fourteen pounds of scissors, and sixteen pounds of corkscrews/cigar cutters.
