im not affiliated with these guys,. and dont know how good their service is.. but i just became aware of it, and it seems like it might come in handy for some of the people traveling to the burn.


thankfully, it looks like both of the airports i will be using are covered by these folks.

That's a pretty cool system, Being someone who carries a knife every day without thinking about it I've had to run back to my car a couple times from security to put it in my vehicle. I imagine there's a premium for the service but it seems worth it vs giving your stuff to TSA. Hopefully it catches on.

When I go to my sisters in Mi. I mail a box of what I will need.. One carry on and a Cpap.. They always call me back for an extra search.. But they only glance inside the cpap case.. They are afraid of profiling the disabled..

Mail you shit ahead. It makes the TSA run in circles..

I think I've seen their kiosk at San Francisco (SFO). IF the kiosk I saw was for the same mailer company mentioned above, they are very expensive and delivery time was listed in weeks rather than days. It would really be used for something you forgot you had on your person and wanted to send home rather than lose it at the gate, or send ahead to an intended destination (unless you were going to be there for an extended period of time). Best to check your stuff very carefully before heading out to the airport
