Why should my tax money be spent because some idiot does want to declare her cash. Everyone who has traveled internationally knows you have to declare any cash over $10,000 when you enter or exit the country. She was born in Nigeria so its safe to say she knew.
The fact that she did not declare it implies she had other motivations.
The mere fact that she was stupid enough to put over 30K of cash in her checked bags tells you all you need to know.
She is lucky CBP found it before the ground crew in Nigeria did. At least she still has a chance to get it back.
Wonder how many times she's visited Nigeria. My guess is that she got away with it before.
