PHL: lockers or no lockers, that is the question
I phoned both the airport police and the lost and found at the PHL airport in the hope of determining whether there were lockers available for storing a bag for a couple of hours. The police said yes, absolutely, but then became slightly uncertain when I pressed a little. Lost and found said, absolutely not, 9/11, forget about it. Pretty unclear. And not very reassuring either given which party said what. Anybody in fact know?

I am under the impression that there are no operating lockers in any U.S. airport anymore. They have all been locked up for security reasons. That said, if you are a US Airways Club member, you can leave your bags in the cubbie for a little while. They don't actually lock, though. That said, I don't understand why anyone ever leaves bags in the cubbie area. A thief could make a huge profit by dressing nicely and buying a day pass.

The club has "cubbies". There are also small lock ups in the cubbie area. The people at the club desk have keys -- you just ask them to open it. It's big enough for a fat laptop bag/briefcase. They hold the key while you're away.
