The Bin cleaning thread

I wanted to share my experience on my last flight through DFW.

I generally don't throw my shoes into the bins, but instead kick them directly onto the conveyer belt.

The TSA barker was in the process of throwing me a second bin for my shoes which I politely declined.

He asked why I just threw them on directly to which I asked, "To prevent the crap on my shoes to go onto the next person's jacket. When was the last time you had these bins cleaned"

To my disgust he thought about it for a min, then replied, "never in my 3 years at DFW, we just throw them away when they get really, really nasty or sticky"

Bleh.

On your next flight please ask the TSA when was the last time the bins were washed/cleaned.
