ATL: Airport security bins to carry ads
One way to earn $$...
I guess it's not much different than advertising elsewhere in the airport...though I'm not sure I'd be thinking, "Oh, I need to go look at that site for an item..."

Nestled in that gray plastic bin with your loafers and laptop will be some words from a sponsor who’s paying to be there. Yes, coming to Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport: bin-vertising.
The airport plans to join roughly 40 other airports, such as Nashville and Chattanooga, in selling the ads. Among the advertisers has been online shoe retailer Zappos.
The ads could generate as much as $250,000 annually, said airport general manager Louis Miller. The U.S. Transportation Security Administration started a bin advertising pilot program in 2007, and it has been an option for airports nationwide since 2008.

Doesn't bother me. I think the tray table ads on some airlines (US for one) are a little tacky but as I'm literally throwing stuff on top of these ads I'm not put off by them. Besides, more revenue = maybe getting working escalators/elevators at every concourse train station?
