Sheesh I wish I would have thought of that. I would be rich!
We have the same thing at SAT T1. It's actually a business center-credit union that offers a variety of services. One of those includes mailing services. We are under no obligation to inform passengers of this service; the bottom line is that it is a personal responsibility to find a way to get rid of a prohibited item. We inform the passengers of the availability of this mailing service strictly as a courtesy. I remind them that this is a private enterprise not affiliated with the government, and this is one of the options available to them to properly dispose prohibited items.
