The government has been doing this in recent years and is has to stop.
"You know nothing of this, so how can you say that?"
I should have said, "My guess is...". I agree with your point, though. Regardless of what I suspect she was up to, the DEA had no grounds to do what they did. There is not (that I'm aware of), nor should there be any law against carrying $50K on a interstate flight. I suspect (yet again :)) that the DEA saw the same red flags as me and got trigger happy. That's not good. Still, I think her story is smelly.
