Yep! Taking it back to the truck was the right thing to do. Good thing that he wasn't rushed for time.

IF that had not been a choice, chucking it into a garbage bin would probably have been my second choice. Don't know that it would be found by any of the airport staff when they're picking up the trash, but if it was, it might cause a minor ruckus... and of course, my fingerprints would be on it. Hmmm... maybe I oughtta rethink this choice?

If there was a post office in the secure area, I might try to mail it back to myself. Carrying on board the flight seems like a low-risk of detection, but if caught, would probably bring about the worst repercussions.

Looks like taking it back to the truck was the only real choice!

Now, if we were at a military terminal, one could take advantage of the amnesty barrel (every military port I've seen has some sort of amnesty collection point where folks can put guns/ammo (you'd be surprised how many people carry around loose rounds after training exercises, etc.) drugs, etc. ( I occassionally helped inventory the barrels at the McChord AFB (now Joint Base Lewis-McChord) MAC terminal when I was stationed there in the late 60's - McChord was one of the primary jumping off ports for troops bound for Vietnam at the time).
