TSA airport seizures create new market

Surplus store offers up stuff that just won’t fly

CONCORD, N. H. — As the busy holiday travel season ­arrives, so too does the infrequent flyer. That means a very particular secondhand market is about to start booming, one that depends on people who, more than a ­decade after the Sept. 11 attacks, still do not know that you cannot carry a machete onto an airplane. Or a baseball bat. Or scissors. Or hammers. Or . . . you wouldn’t believe it all.

But if you’d like, you can see it all.

Comments

I assume this story appeared as a news story in the Metro section of the print edition. If so, the line "Snow Globes. Come on, TSA." has no place in this story. It is not attributed to anyone being interviewed so it must be a comment from the reporter. It is an editorial comment and belongs in the Opinion section of the newspaper. The blurring of these lines is a serious problem.
