“That pocketknife you surrendered to airport security screeners might now be tucked away in someone else’s pocket — someone who bought it on EBay. Under the handle CaliforniaGold2000, the state is using the Internet auction house to convert scores of confiscated items to cash. So far, $16,281 has been made selling objects taken from passengers at Oakland and Sacramento airports — the only ones in Northern California to participate in the state program.
Among the oddest items confiscated and sold were at least three circular saws, hatchets, curtain rods and a little girl’s baton, said Robb Deignan, spokesman for the surplus property disposal program, a division of the California Department of General Services.”
