Air travelers left behind almost a million dollars at airport checkpoints

Travelers left behind nearly a million dollars at U.S. airport security checkpoints last year. A Transportation Security Administration report said travelers lost $926,000 at 75 airports in the year that ended in September. Much of the lost money came from people emptying their pockets for security scans. The paper says the largest sums were lost at airports in New York, San Francisco, Miami, Las Vegas and Dallas.
