Contraband kiosks profit from TSA inanity

Kim says:

Picture 33 Recently I was at an airport that had a self-serve "Mailsafe Express" kiosk which (for a fee, of course) lets you safely divest yourself of potentially unsafe materials while ensuring you're eventually reunited with them.

Want your Bic lighter mailed back to you? That'll be $45.00, please.

Oh, and just in case the entire security process wasn't humiliating enough, a video camera embedded in the kiosk records the entire transaction for your "safety." (As if you hadn't just passed through a security check that x-rayed, metal-detected and spectrum-analyzed everything in your possession.)

This kiosk was located after the security checkpoint, which means by the time you encounter it you basically have no choice but to cough up the dough to use it, or surrender your contraband to the TSA.
