What happens at airports with money that passengers forget?

Fox News reports that airport security officials told how to deal with money left by passengers in the security zone.

At preflight security, people often fuss about laying out their belongings and picking them up after checking, and in a hurry many forget to pick up the metal coins. The details are kept by security specialists.

In 2018, 978 thousand USD were left by passengers at all US airports.

The funds are allocated for updating security systems, bonuses to employees and organizing corporate events.

Kate Sullivan, an employee of the service for finding airline tickets, reports that most often the trifle is carried to the accounting and sent to finance various programs.
