Once in Pearson I seem to recall a kiosk where you could buy heavy
envelopes to mail things like pocket knives home to yourself if you'd
gotten to security and realized you still had them on you... in other
words, you put the pocket knife or whatever in the envelope, address
it to yourself, they weighed it, they charged you postage plus
something like $5.99 for the envelope and for being dumb enough to
bring your favourite pocket knife to the airport, they mailed it for
you and you proceeded on through security and on to your flight. Does
anyone else remember seeing this? I thought at the time that I wish
I'd thought of it. I also wondered how many Zippos were going to be
mailed in those envelopes counter to postal regulations.
