Banned-item return service at NH airport?

Sponsor: http://FreeKeene.com - Have you ever surrendered an innocent item to the TSA because they won't let you take it on a plane? What if instead someone were standing right next to the checkpoint and offered to mail it to your destination? This video was shot around 12/19 and first uploaded 12/26/08.

I want to do this at gun buybacks.

"$50 Target gift cards inside. $100 cash right here."

[RP4409]

awesome idea.....you are the man!

[flowerpt]

Good idea. Probably easier to do as a real business, there's profit to be made there, especially with the new checked baggage fees, having a UPS station at the airport is just a logical next step (your market is larger than the TSA).

While you do have a point there, if the airlines are hurt badly enough by a consumer boycott over insane and stupid TSA rules, the government would be FORCED to bend to the will of the people - letting us bring our harmless bottled water, suntan lotion, hair conditioner, etc. on planes. If we boycotted air travel over these stupid rules, the airline industry would BEG TSA to drop the regulations. Bush would make a futile TV plea for people to drop the boycott. TSA needs a reality check.

Unfortunately, boycotting flying will not hurt the TSA; it will only hurt the airlines.

sweet idea, and when they require me to show the inside of my asshole, by law, then we'll have to follow THOSE laws too! Awesome! I love laws! (you fail)

[halsose]

how about obeying the law??

[dmgoddard]

Awesome idea. Clearly you are a true entrepreneur.

Your cost per gun: $100

Selling price in NH: at least $150

Markup: sweet

Foiling the gun-grabbers: priceless!

I always forget about my Victorinox "Swiss Army Card" which is always in my wallet behind my ID. I've had to mail it to myself or my destination twice and I've been able to get it "checked" with my luggage once before. It's ridiculous. Let me carry my 9mm on the plane and I'll give them my "or it's my life too" guarantee that the plane won't get hijacked.

Bigdstock...unfortunately as an international business owner..I have no choice.

[bigdstocktrader]

This is why we need to boycott flying. I have not flown ever since the liquids ban went into effect. I do not plan to fly until they start using the technology that ALREADY EXISTS to scan your liquids to make sure they are safe, then let you take them on board with you. If everyone else would join this boycott of the airline industry, this would end quick-fast-in-a-hurry! I seriously have not flown since the liquid ban and will not do so again till it's over.

I don't see how they could stop you from doing this. I could see you having to do this as a regular business, and having to get any necessary permits or licenses, etc. You would also have to rent a space from the airport if you are doing this IN the airport. But I don't see why you couldn't rent a space, offer to mail anything banned to wherever the person wanted it mailed to, give them a receipt for it, charge $10 - 20 or so, and mail it for them. Then email them a tracking number.
