I actually left security at SFO and MSY to get to a mailbox. At SFO, I had to go all the way outside to the curb to a big blue mailbox. At MSY, there's a full post office in the building outside security that has an accessible mail slot.</font>
Flying out of ONT last year I encountered the same problem. In fact, the airport terminal directory/map even showed the location of the "Business Center" on the upper level inside the sterile area. The center had been gutted...no photocopier, no fax machines, no postbox, just a payphone--as though there weren't already 40 phones near each gate?!
So I flag down Officer Friendly and ask him where to find the mailbox. He told me they had to take them out "airport orders." And something about screening the mail carriers coming in blah blah blah. So the only mailboxes are downstairs near the ticket counters! Which means I'd have to clear security again!
But then he smiled and said if I trusted him to, he would take my letters and post them since he was on his way down to the airport police control room anyway.
