TSA tries to ensure that all traveler property, including loose change, finds its way back to the proper owner. However, when loose change does not, it will be directed to critical aviation security programs.

  • The TSA submits a report to congress every year.
  • Passengers left behind $928,000 at security checkpoints; the TSA says it recovered more than $3M in recent years.
  • The agency uses the money to help fund its programs. Because of the pandemic, it’s expected that this number drops in 2020.
