Maybe this will spur more handheld sales!
First, let me acknowledge that airline is a serious business. But, still, I did find it amusing to think of one very odd consequence of all the heightened airline security... piles of unclaimed mobile devices left at airports!

"Many travellers wound up returning from their holiday this summer without their mobile phone or laptop because they lost it while traveling at a busy British airport... Heathrow airport alone has about five laptops and 10 mobile phones handed in everyday."

You would think that they would do whatever it takes to get that mobile device back. I certainly would. But no! "Between 40 and 50 per cent of lost mobile phones, laptop or PDA devices are left unclaimed at the lost property offices of hectic UK airports." Shocking.

For the full story, check it out at The Register.
