  1. To whom it may concern:

    I completely empathize with this colossal problem and am willing to take the spare change off your hands free of charge. I can be contacted through Matzav.com

  2. Its loose change, meaning a dime here, a few pennies there etc. No one is gonna waste their time and effort trying to go back through the hassle of security to retrieve it, especially when running to try catching a flight. It may not be much to each person, but it obviously adds up with the amount of people travelling.
    This is obviously a huge musser vort and a vivid real life exaple of how even a little mitzva, can really add up over time if repeated again and again.
