Did you read the part where they seize as little as $5,000? I have that much money and if I decide to carry MY money I shouldn't have to prove my innocence.
IIRC the IRS actually has a video for car dealerships, real estate firms, etc showing how and who to report to the government, large sums of money, especially cash, used in transactions.
They give contact numbers and the form id's to make it easy to do so. They also include in the video a lightly veiled threat if one does NOT REPORT the cash that one could be held as a criminal too.
Fines, threats, jail all used to scare the business employees.

Absolutely.
