With Thanksgiving just past us and text on sexuality eroticism anymoreChristmas still to come, we're right in the heart of the holiday travel season, so it's a good time to remind you to stop leaving your laptop at TSA airport checkpoints.
SEE ALSO: James Corden isn't the TSA officer you want if you're carrying Fantastic Beasts in your suitcaseThis was underscored last week when a rep from the TSA shared a tweet (below), showing dozens of laptops stacked on a shelf, all left behind at TSA checkpoints at Newark International Airport in Newark, New Jersey.

In a 2014 story, Capital Public Radio in Sacramento, California, reported that roughly 20,000 items, each priced at $500 or more, were left at checkpoints around the country. Those items eventually get sent to TSA's Virginia headquarters, while less valuable objects make their way to re-sale shops.
Among the more interesting items of recent note was a replica of Negan's bat from The Walking Dead (the TV swag wasn't lost, it was taken by the TSA as a potential weapon).

So if you're one of the rushed travelers who take off with your belt, shoes, and carry-on but not with your MacBook Air, there is hope, though. The TSA has a searchable database of TSA headquarters for each airport online.
But you can also reach out on Twitter or Facebook if you notice your laptop didn't make it with you.
And in case you want proof that you can potentially recover a lost laptop, one traveler, whose laptop was in the recently shared Newark stack, posted on Twitter that he was able to get in touch with Newark TSA after the photo was posted and got his device back.

On its Instagram page, the TSA offers one more tip: "If you haven’t already, tape a business card or a piece of paper with your name and contact info to the bottom of your laptop. This will allow us to attempt to contact you via a page or phone call before you board your flight. It will also allow us to contact you if you’ve already left."
