Authorities in Massachusetts confiscated a large sum of cash from a man at Logan Airport after he rebooked a missed flight. According to reports, after being questioned by various security and law officers, the man claimed to be carrying wildly different amounts of money.
According to a post on the Massachusetts State Police Facebook page, the suspect had booked a flight at Logan Airport this past weekend but missed it. He reportedly booked a second flight on the same day. The man’s specific destination has not been revealed, but authorities have identified it as a “source area for illegal narcotics.”
On Facebook, the Massachusetts State Police wrote, “As the passenger went through a TSA checkpoint he was questioned about a large quantity of US currency he was carrying, and stated that the amount was $1,500. When Massachusetts State Police Troopers from Troop F questioned the passenger subsequently, he claimed he was carrying $40,000 to $50,000 cash.”

“Based on the totality of the circumstances, the money was held pending further investigation,” the Facebook post said. “The would-be passenger refused to sign a receipt for the secured currency and left the building, walking away from the money. The money will be subject to forfeiture proceedings.”

Does he look like Hunter or Joe Biden?

“Massachusetts State Police Troopers from Troop F...”
Was the guy a Hekawi?
“... walking away from the money.”
Soon to be “dead man walking” when his “sponsors” find him.
Heh.....probably Hunter.
Yeah right. Pending the sun going super nova is more like it. Once the Feds get their mitts on your cash they never give it back.
Some people won't get it.
If not then it is none of their business what he is carrying and how much.
I’ll go claim it...why not?
A guessing game! Was he headed to Reykjavik?

Gangster government is the only kind of government we can have.
Unless it was actually a bribe. I suspect many cash seizures are just that.
“Was he leaving the country? If not then it is none of their business what he is carrying and how much.”
If he was trying to leave the country, they would have arrested him for not declaring it (since it is over $10,000). So, what exactly, was the basis for taking the money? Maybe they felt he shouldn’t carry so much?
I understand that one must declare to customs if one is leaving the country with more than $10,000. When did it become illegal to have more than $10,000 in cash?
I alway show up at least two hours before my flight. Once I check-in, I go to the bar and read my Kindle over a couple of frosty tall ones. Haven’t missed a flight yet. Just make sure you hit the restroom before boarding.
There is no law against it but you might be doing something illegal.
Maybe you are. Maybe you are not. But either way it is no reason to detain someone or take their property.
The only time I have ever missed a flight was when it was a connecting flight. Oh and there was the time I got caught in a riot in La Paz. But that does not count.
It was Soros money. Meant to go to Biden.
