At seven U.S. airports, there's a new alternative to turning over your $50, four-ounce bottle of perfume to a TSA screener. Chicago O'Hare, West Palm Beach, and Portland International are some locations that now have MailSafe Express stations (itemreturn.com; from $8.95 plus postage) in their security areas. Passengers can send prohibited items home—without losing their place in line. If any of your items face confiscation, be they scissors, shaving cream, or cheese knives, a screener places them in a padded envelope, drops it in the ATM-like kiosk, and swipes your credit card. —Jennifer Welbel
