No, if it's over $10,000 the feds could steal it anyway without due process, unless they were to charge you with a crime. You would have to sue to get it back.
Ah, but you see then we would be reading a different story. :-)
An innocent person would scream bloody murder that the cops are stealing their money under asset forfeiture laws. And, then, if the guy is Jamaican as mentioned in the story? Profiling would get thrown around, "flying while black" would be bantied about the liberal press, etc.
Fortunately, for the feds, this money isn't owned by anybody.
