As I recall, the guy in “The Terminal” had passport issues.
There was a domestic fellow in LAX though — he made money by returning carts.

I worked at Logan Airport during the late 1970s. Before and after my shift, I would collect those carts in Terminal E to get the quarter deposit. These were International travelers and they were most likely somewhat wealthy and thus not worried about collecting their quarter deposit by walking the cart back to the rack. I would usually get a couple extra dollars each day and back then, that was not all that insignificant.

A couple of dollars back then would get you a full meal at McDonalds. You could also get a six-pack of Miller High Life back then for just over a couple of dollars and that was the Champagne of Beer.
