   Why do airports put their luggage shops in the departure lounge?

   Think about that for five microseconds…

     @mobbsy What do you do with your luggage once you’ve bought it?

     The only place that you are expected to go is a plane.

     Which you can’t take suitcases on.

     @goatsarah Thinking about it for five microseconds... there's a lot of expensive retail space being used for that purpose in many airports, so I assume they do it because it sells enough luggage to make money. If there was a better use for the space, they'd sell something else.

     I don't know _why_ it works, but unless they're all money-laundering fronts, I have to assume that it does.

     @goatsarah @mobbsy Can left luggage be retrieved from either side of security?
