Everybody has had an item taken from them when going through Airport security haven't they? Most of the time though, it is unintentional of course. But the question becomes, where does that item go?

Confiscated Items From The Texas Airports Go Where Now?

We've all heard of certain stores in the nation that have a different way of obtained goods to sell. For example, Unclaimed Baggage in Alabama gets bags that are lost at the airport, and sells those items lost. For Texas, there is a store like this, but not in the way Unclaimed Baggage does.

Texas Surplus Store, located in Austin, has not only items taken from Airports in the state, but a variety of things that someone in the state of Texas would want to buy. So for those who have lost an item through airport security, who knows? You might be able to get that item back.
