HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Most people struggle to keep track of everything during vacation, especially when you have children.

But you would think people would keep a close eye on their wallets.

ABC13 Investigates team found numbers showing in the last year, more than $23,000 was left at TSA checkpoints at Bush Intercontinental Airport.

Another $5,600 was forgotten in Hobby Airport security lines.

But where are travelers most likely to forget their cash? The answer is JFK Airport. Over $70,000 was left at TSA checkpoints last year.
