You can get scissors and knives BY THE POUND for as low as $10 or even 25 cents! What a great gift this holiday season! Here’s a list of all the surplus property sales and auctions from state and local governments – this is where all the confiscated items from the airport end up – [via] Link.

Pictured here, fantastic spider sculptures made from TSA confiscated scissors!

    Neat but, you couldn’t take those sculptures on a plane.

    why would you want to bring a sculpture like that on carry one? if you did, you could check it in –

    fellaz, if you look carefully at those sculptures you will see that they are made of scissors. Now read the summary again and enjoy that AHA! moment.

    The state of Oregon sells it’s surplus (and the surplus of several other states) on eBay under the name OregonTrail2000.
