A decade ago, a woman famously downed an entire bottle of Rémy Martin XO Excellence rather than surrender it to airport security. It didn’t end quite the way she planned: While she managed to avoid a trip to the hospital, she was deemed too intoxicated to fly and forced to stay on the ground.
As unhinged as that might sound, you can imagine how her internal monologue might have gone: “No way I’m letting these guys have a $190 bottle of cognac.”

So what exactly does the TSA do with the 2,000 or so pounds of prohibited items picked up at large airports each month? Most of it is collected at the end of the day and sent to a third-party auction site like GovDeals.com. Here’s the cool part: You can bid on many of these objects, which often sell for incredibly cheap.
