Flying from BOS to Europe (don't recall my destination). During the cab ride from my hotel to the airport I kept my passport in my hand to make sure I didn't lose it. After getting into the terminal I realized that I'd left my passport in the cab! Apparently in the confusion of getting my bags and paying the driver I put it on the seat and forgot about it. In a panic I called the hotel that had arranged for the cab and somehow they got in touch with the driver who returned to the terminal with my passport. You bet he got a generous tip that day!

Of course the passport now always goes into an inside pocket.
