Why are you so confident that mailings are effective? I receive postcards every week from marketing companies, career fairs, etc., I take a brief look at the cards, and rip them into pieces. I would have to say that e-newsletters are a little bit more efficient. Not only do they serve the same purpose as a postcard. Companies, business, institutions are able to send more mailings out at one time, as well as receive feedback on how many people take a look at them, or maybe even follow links inscribed in the email. Stewart,

Not something I hate, but rather disgusting. I think to me this would be the equivalent to those ad-laden rubber mats they put in the bottom of urinals. Not something I hate, but rather disgusting.

High Bandwidth Cell Service Providers ("Bored? You don't have to be. Get ESPN / HBO / NBC / Comedy Central on your cell phone!") Luggage / Personal Effects Forwarding Services Luggage Companies (Especially one that made an easy slide in/slide out sleeve for your laptop) Alcohol Manufacturers ("Need To Relax? The nearest airport bar is only 150 feet away.") WebEx or similar services ("Was this trip really necessary? Web conferences - all the contact with none of the Drug-Sniffing Dogs") There are lots of applicable ads one could put there. This may be the TSA's first good idea!

And annoying ads will only be more annoying. On the other hand, there is an opportunity for a company to try to make the process more pleasant. Acknowledge the situation the traveler is in and advertise accordingly, and you might see a positive response.
