New App Posts Messages for You -- After You Die... - It’s called “If I Die,” - 

Want to leave a Facebook post after your time is up? There’s an app for that.



It’s called “If I Die,” and lets you leave a Facebook message behind that is not to be posted until after your earthly demise.


Gary Baumgarten spoke with several Facebook users to get their take on the app, and the reactions were mixed. Some were not overly enamored with the premise, while others admitted to seeing some purpose with the program.



“I think it’s great. It’s great thing to do, because a lot of people pass away without saying a lot of things that they wanted to say to everybody. To people you hate or whatever, you could leave a message too,” user Shawn said.


“There may be some people who are like terminally ill who want to leave a message,” user Pete said.


Another told Baumgarten that if he has something to say, he’ll open his mouth while he still is able.


“I would think that it’s a little too late after you are dead. It’s probably something you’d want to say before you go,” said Mike, another Facebook user.

Passengers left $410G in change at airport security checkpoints in 2010 - more than $30,000 was foreign currency - 


In the rush to catch their flights, airline passengers are leaving hundreds of thousands of dollars behind at security checkpoints. 
According to the Transportation Security Administration, passengers left behind nearly $410,000 in loose change at checkpoints in 2010. That's actually down from $433,000 the year prior. 
The TSA said in a statement that the agency is trying its best to prevent so much money from being left at security. 
"TSA makes every effort to reunite passengers with items left at the checkpoint, however there are instances where loose change or other items are left behind and unclaimed," the TSA said. "Unclaimed money, typically consisting of loose coins passengers remove from their pockets, is documented and turned into the TSA financial office.
The lost coins go into the TSA budget, though Rep. Jeff Miller, R-Fla., has proposed diverting the money to the United Service Organizations.
According to a USA Today report, most of the money was in U.S. coins, though more than $30,000 was foreign currency. 
The most change was left behind at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, where $47,000 was collected.
