I'm a politically active Libertarian.
I've had the Government retaliate against me for things I have
said they didn't like before. But, oh well, hopefully this little
discussion group won't cost me a few more Mil.
That's another story.
This one pertains to carrying significant amounts of cash.
And don't let the $5,000 or $10,000 lines fool you.
If they want to hassle you, detain you, cause you to
lose your flight, even 'Asset Forfeiture' the money away
from you, they will.
Period, end of story, no discussion allowed about it.
If they want to, they can, and they might, and good
luck dealing with it.
If you must carry a large amount of cash with you,
of course, keep it as small as possible.
Try to find a way to use a debit card for free, one
way or another, everyone has their own criterion
for privacy, country of Bank (card issuing), but
do what you can not to carry cash.
I know, when I used to go to Vegas, I would always
take 5Kish, and that was in the early 80s.
Someone with the proper scanner can scan you
and your property and tell you exactly how much
cash you have in your posession.
All your bills have some relative of an RFID chip
in them, each and every one.
Go ahead and hold one up to the light if you
haven't already. Check it out! There is a
metallic strip running the short side of the
rectangle, woven into the fabric of the bill.
So, here is the story.
Years ago, too...
Long before September 11.
Before the shoe bomber and before the underwear
bomber, but stll within recent memory.
My folks used to travel to a lot of the antique
Shows natonally, they hoped to make enough
money selling things to cover the cost of the
trip and what they paid for the items.
They were on an East Coast trip and a British
woman they knew, a past customer of theirs.
came to their booth/table at the show.
She was an elderly, blue/gray haired granny.
Little thing, clearly frail and not someone you
might think was a drug runner or money laundry.
She told my parents the following story:
When she landed on US soil, after overflying
the Atlantic, she was stopped by Customs
and taken into a private room.
They interviewed her for a bit and then finally
popped the questions.
It went something lke this:
Customs Q: Do you know why we took you into this room?
Granny A: No. I was wondering... Why?
Customs Q: Why do you have $12,000 cash on you?
Granny A: Because am going to an Antique Show.
Customs Q: Why do you need that much money?
Granny A: How can I write a check drawn on a British Bank
to buy things at the show?... Don't you Americans
say 'Cash Talks?'.
Customs Q: How do we know this is your money?
Granny A: What do you want from me? I'm an Antique
Dealer. I come to the USA a few times a
year to get inventory for my business.
Customs Q: Where did you get the currency from?
Granny A: My Bank in England, and I had to pay a fee, too.
They knew EXACTLY how much US Currency she had.
Lesson: The Polizei will check you out sometimes if you
have cash on you. Make sure to immedately and
as publicly as you can say why you have it. If you
are super nice and super open, they are going to
have a very hard time 'picking on you'.
Announce you have the cash on you whenever
you have to clear any kind of barrier were you are
metal detected, scanned, interviewed, stamped\.\.\.
The 'nothing to hide' strategy is totally unfair and
a big invasion of privacy, but keep your cash in
your hand at all times and let the TSA folks know
you have it\.
Same thing goes for crossing borders and even
if you are traveling in the car and get stopped\.

Neither the TSA nor anyone else has any business questioning any amount of
cash you may be carrying within the borders of the United States. The
$10,000 reporting requirement only applies to entering or exiting the US.
That being said, it has been the practice of many police departments to
confiscate cash without charging anyone with any crime under the doctrine of
"asset forfeiture" if they say they suspect the cash may be the proceeds of
illegal activity. How this blatantly unconstitutional process has continued
is beyond me but you have to sue them to get it back.

I am gratified that my bankroll scan at McCarren generated some pearls of wisdom and alerts for our web members.
In my case, I worked for US Customs from 1964-1980 and had forgotten the declaration of 10K or more
when crossing an international port of entry. In my day, the inspector would ask"are you carrying 10K or more in cash on your person?"
I don't like the potential of having a problem in which my cash is confiscated until I can sue or petition to retrieve it. So, I'll
solve same by depositing my cash before going to the airport again and/or getting a cashier's check, etc, etc for redemption at my next destination.
I appreciate all the input.

It is too bad that these folks keep repeating falsehoods such as the

It's not political commentary to mention that TSA knows exactly how much you have and that cash money gets seized from time to time without a warrant or probable cause. These things have happened. You should protect yourself if you are gambling for real dollar amounts.
And being libertarian leaning and wanting to avoid big government does not mean living in isolation in the back woods. Libertarian philosophy of government and free market capitalism is actually the most social of beliefs. It accepts society's preferences without trying to use the violence of the state to alter those preferences and options.

Well, let's put it back on topic of a sorts. My disdain of the national debt stems from my gambling training/experience. No sucker gambling. No waiting until I'm almost broke to go back to work. Pay my bills way before time. Create no debt--if I can't pay cash for it I don't want it. Absolutely, positively maintain a bankroll, Mickey, and you will live a pretty good life.

What you say is no joke. Dateline, 20-20 or some similar show a couple of years ago had multiple reports of people being stopped on highways for traffic infractions. The cops ask how much money you have or "request" to search the car. If they find you have even a couple of grand they steal it, give you a receipt and it is up to you to get a lawyer and "prove" to the court that the money has a legitimate source.
In my opinion, I love traveler's checks. Tough for anyone to steal be it bad guys or "good" guys.
