Airport Arrest Turns Up Nuclear Info Nov 16 9:36 AM US/Eastern
A man was arrested at Detroit Metropolitan Airport after officials say they found him carrying more than $78,000 in cash and a laptop computer containing information about nuclear materials and cyanide. Sisayehiticha Dinssa, an unemployed U.S. citizen, was arrested Tuesday after a dog caught the scent of narcotics on cash he was carrying, according to an affidavit filed in court.
When agents asked him if he had any cash to declare, he said he had $18,000, authorities said. But when agents checked his luggage, they found an additional $59,000. When they scrolled through his laptop, they said they found the mysterious files.
At a court hearing Wednesday, Dinssa was ordered held in custody until at least until Monday at the request of prosecutors.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Leonid Feller argued Dinssa was a potential risk to the community and federal agents want to get a warrant to search his computer more thoroughly, The Detroit News reported Thursday. U.S. Magistrate Donald Scheer approved Feller's request to detain him.
Dinssa, who is from Dallas, arrived in Detroit from Nigeria by way of Amsterdam and was headed for Phoenix, Feller said. He is charged with concealing more than $10,000 in his luggage, which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison, the Detroit Free Press reported.
A message seeking comment was left Thursday with his lawyer, Leroy Soles.

So have I. Did they search you? Did they tell you that you were in a "No walking zone." Did they ask to see your walking license? In many places, it IS unlawful to walk while intoxicated, though.
Have a feeling they were watching this guy.
I was perfectly sober. I was in the USMC, even!.........
The Yellow Cake story relates to Niger, not Nigeria. But they may well have been watching him for other reasons.
Kicking a CAIR Extremist Off the Human Relations Commission
In addition to the connection to CAIR, there is a connection to the Holy Land Foundation in Richardson, TX, a suburb of Dallas (where he was from).
This happened back in October. Revenge by CAIR perhaps?
The guy might have went after the nuke info that the gov mut out...which I believe was a trap.
You are allowed to carry cash but you have to declare it. The guy was HIDING this cash.
It is the law to declare when you enter this country. The govt made it their business, has to do with crime I do believe.
Hey! That's MY money from the Nigerian I've been emailing!
That's pretty vague. A search of the computers of everyone who has read this thread would turn up "information about nuclear materials and cyanide" in the browser cache files.
I suspect he is a drug dealer's courier smuggling cash back into the US.

In 1998 Wilson left the State Department and began putting his diplomatic contacts to business use. He formed J.C. Wilson International Ventures Corporation, a business development and management company which ventured in gold, oil, and telecommunications and served clients in Africa, Western Europe, and Turkey.
Wilson ran his company out of the offices of an investment company called Rock Creek Corporation. Rock Creek was controlled by Mohammed Alamoudi, whom Wilson had met in 1997 at a reception organized for the World Bank by Westar Group. Alamoudi was a member of the Saudi-Ethiopian{surname connection} Alamoudi dynasty, which was heavily invested in the segments of the African economy Wilson was seeking to penetrate.
Under Mohammed Alamoudi’s direction, Rock Creek was chaired by Elias Aburdene, an Arab-American international banking advisor and lobbyist who had previously advised banks linked to organized crime and intelligence community figures involved in the S&L Scam. In 2003 and 2004 Aburdene donated to the Sandhills Political Action Committee, which was affiliated with Senator Chuck Hagel, 13 a leading Republican critic of the Bush administration’s Iraq policy.

Getting travelers checks in and out of the country is simple. Buy the checks, write down the serial numbers, destroy the checks, travel, then go to an American Express office with the serial numbers of the destroyed checks and have new checks issued.
Of course the conspiracy man in me....asks "Is that just an excuse"
You could have been describing Detroit...
Thanks for posting. More context here...
