$80K...in cash...going to Pakistan? Very curious,indeed!
To: Excuse_My_Bellicosity
The first question of course: who put $80K in a checked bag?

The owner of the money did not declare the cash but Ryan said he was never asked if he had anything to declare and likely will not be charged with a crime. The real story was how easy it to move 80,000 large out out of the US and when caught get an apology.

The irony is that he probably thwarted resources getting into the hands of muslim terrorists intent to kill the very people he's paid to protect.

No, it was posted.
Maybe nothing came up in search because it's so old? Plus, last week the Mods said "search" gets 'funny' at times. Maybe it's acting up again.

Well, at least now I know how to get money out of the US without Ungle Sugar dipping into my pocket: Use a courier from a Muslim country to move the cash offshore.
Apparently, political correctness can be a two edged sword for government.

It not illegal for a man to take this money with him crossing borders? It is if it's not delcared. Are you Nuts?

The first question of course: who put $80K in a checked bag?Given that it was destined for Pakistan,there's certainly no way it could have been for terrorists.
To: Gay State Conservative
OK. Let's see. 80K, in a checked bag, going to OBL's playground. Did this send up any flags with anyone else?
To: Gay State Conservative
Gee, who'dathunk?
Two crimes commited, and the more significant of the two is being ignored completely!

Umm, do you cross the border much? At all? The signs are posted everywhere, you must declare all currency or monetary insturments over $10,000, coming AND going. It's been like that for a long time because of the WOD and later the WOT.

At one time there were limits on how much cash you could take out of the country. It may have changed in the last few years.

Two crimes commited, and the more significant of the two is being ignored completely! If this guy's lawyer is smart,he'll use,as his defense, something like "my client knew that this was destined for Bin Laden.He seized it,thus helping to defend the world against terrorists,gave to friends for safe keeping,and was caught before he could turn it in to authorities.My client's guilty of bad judgment and nothing else".
To: SandyInSeattle
I wonder if the $80,000 was declared...? Declared to who? I travel out of the country all the time and I don't recall ever being asked to declare a thing. Coming in you fill out and sign a form that states you have no more than 10,000 dollars in currency.
