Clothing, though, is another matter. People are forever getting up and leaving jackets and stuff behind. I'm not sure how much of that gets picked up by the TSA, but I know I've seen stuff left on the belt after going through the Xray machines. People forget shit and leave it all over the place. I once left a parka in a restaurant. The weather warmed up while I was eating, the sun was shining, and I simply walked out without it. Left it on the coat hook, with all the other parkas there. It was old and wasn't my favorite one, so when I remembered that I left it, I didn't bother to go back. I'm sure it found a new owner. Now, my Eddie Bauer -50 parka I guard closely. I never leave it hanging. People have been known to take a different parka than they came in with in Minnesota. It's how they upgrade their winter gear, it seems.
