It's cumulative...like in one day.

Who says one day? The article? The law? My impression is that it could be cumulative over one week. One month? One year?

I don't think it would do much good if it was only cumulative for one day. Tax evaders (er.. I mean terrorist) would simply spread their purchases out over a week.. month.. etc...

I have not looked at the law lately...but from memory, I think the cash purchases were cumulative for a day. I may be wrong. I know in financial transactions they look at a day and also a pattern...like pcl pointed out of daily transactions of cash that are just under the $10,000 threshold but are not warranted for the type of business or are out of the ordinary. If someone else knows for sure, please post.
