Everybody’s most loathed favorite electronics retailer is putting its already-sticky fingers into the airport pie to see if it can wring a little more cash out of uninformed gadget buyers. They’re installing gadget dispensers in airports across the country come September, probably a lot like the ones already there, but the Best Buy ones will also dispense injustice.

Actually, to be honest, last time I was at an airport I could have used an extra SD card and a micro-USB cable. One of these machines might have hit the spot.
