The reason why criminals often avoid bank accounts is obvious.If you're a drug dealer,money launderer,terrorist,etc the last thing you want is for the police to be able to track your activities.

Today's cash is possibly more traceable than many bank accounts, there's so much technology and little tricks built into it. The magnetic strip, for example, isn't just for ATMs -- it creates a cumulative field that can be detected in large bundles like the one this guy was found with.

I don't get your response at all.Traceability has to do with establishing source (e.g.,salary,drug sales,etc).
