Ever wonder what happens to the confiscated items taken at airport security checkpoints?  Apparently, TSA turns it over to state surplus property agencies, which will typically sell the items online or at retail stores.  Here is a list of .gov's that offer confiscated items in Alabama, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas and Washington.  [via Wired]

Someone has taken the time to put together a cool website to help out pilots using google maps.

He has taken weather data, aviation charts and google maps and put it all together. This makes it easy to get the general weather situation in an area.
