Airport Security Bins: The Final Frontier of Travel Advertising?

It's nice to see that it's not just Amtrak taking advantage of those bins at airport security. You know the ones—the plastic ones at the metal detectors, into which you drop your laptop, shoes, and all other worldly possessions.

Well apparently brands are realizing that this is some invaluable advertising space, where they can have direct access to the weary eyes of travelers, a huge captive audience guaranteed to be gazing at the products for a precious few seconds day in and day out.

Last weekend at JFK, we spotted these Zappos ads in the security bins in Terminal 4. It was difficult to get a proper picture of them in a surprisingly swift-moving security line, but it seems that we're not the only ones to find them a bit shocking, since we easily located this picture on Flickr. If you spot any new airport security bin ads, do let us know!
