All they had to do...was walk into some local credit union...open a simple account. A week later, have a cashier’s check ‘cut’, and she could have carried that check anywhere, and no one would say much of anything.
I would imagine if you forced federal law enforcement to report incidents like this....there’s probably twenty episodes a week...across the US, where they ‘steal’ the money. Some might be drug traffic cash, but the bulk is just naive people thinking it’s legal to do so.
But but but she had a flight to catch and not enough time to get to the bank. I think she actually ripped dear old dad off and that is why their stories didn’t match up.
The bulk is people naively thinking that peons are allowed to be free of tyranny.
It IS legal to do so.
And, while I don't think it is wise to travel with that much cash precisely because of crooks (including those who work for the government), that still does not justify the seizure.
Is it not legal?
It’s shocking that this happens in what is supposed to be a free country:

From the article:
“It was late Saturday night after the banks closed when he gave me the money...”
Not if you do t want a record of the money.
There are billions of dollars sitting under beds in the country.
That she said she didn’t have time to go to the bank suggests she knew the risks involved in carrying this amount of cash thru airport screening as most flights have a limit on the amount of cash you can carry.
