There is a legal limit on the amount of money that you can carry on your person at any time?

I know the banks have red flag limits but there are limits on cash that is on your person?

You don't want this cockstroker defending your liberties. He didn't know his rights from the hole in his ass. He kept stammering, "I don't understand the law." You want Jubal Harshaw grilling these incompetents not this guy. He vaguely reminds me of the cavemen from one of the episodes of the original Star Trek series (The Omega Glory, had to look it up), who make all the sounds they are supposed to make but don't understand what or why they are supposed to say them.

No, but there's a 10k limit on flying internationally, I believe. Not sure if it applies flying domestically, as well. If you have more than that, you have to declare it. Every time you internationally it's one of the things you have to check "yes/no" to on the customs form.

I think there is a legal Limit on how much currency you can bring into a country but as far as i understand this was not an international flight and he was not flying into the country.

I think you have to declare cash in excess of $10,000, but I don't know if that applies to domestic flights.

I think the bigger issue is that they were with the TSA, and not law enforcement of any type. TSO's have absolutely NO RIGHT to detain you. They can only ask that actual law enforcement detain/arrest you.

This is the equivalent of mall security detaining you. Someone gets a badge and a uniform and believes they are the law, but they have virtually no law enforcement training and severely overstep their bounds.

This also probably has something to do with it:

"Missouri is one of the only states in which law enforcement maintains that the Campaign for Liberty is a terrorist militia group."

The money being from a fundraiser of said "terrorist group". Anyhow, I'm not condoning the actions of the TSA in question (as was said earlier, it really was "When Douchebags collide"), but the dude could have just said why he had the money and probably been on his merry way.

Both parties are at fault for anything that happened, in my opinion. Also, do people seriously think security officials should just ignore people carrying large amounts of cash on flights, domestic or not?

Elurin · 04-02-2009, 04:31 PM

When the law says you're allowed to carry that much cash, yes. If anyone has a problem with that, they should write their Congressman to have the amount you're allowed to carry on a flight changed.

Actually, as far as I know, there isn't a limit on how much cash you can carry on a flight. It's just you have to declare it if it's over a certain amount ($10,000 if flying from internationally into the US).

If you're worried that people with alot of cash could "make it rain" during the flight then allow me to inform you it doesnt actually rain water when one makes it rain.

So you'd put up with ANY amount of abuse, right?

Anything below 10k does not have to be declared (same in Europe) so what exactly are you on to here? There are laws, should the TSA be allowed to ignore them for no reason?

Yes, they should ignore people carrying a lot of money.

Why the fuck would you take a lot of money if you were going to blow yourself up?

Amirite?

Think about it, assholes.

GrobbeeTrull2.0 · 04-02-2009, 05:36 PM

The law says you have to claim more than $10,000. He had less than that. He's not breaking any laws. Right?

Maybe he's going to blow himself up to protest the inflation of our currency and wants to contribute to deflation at the same time? Sounds like a Ron Paul suicide bomber to me.

I'm not thinking terrorism when I think "suspicious people with a large amount of cash monies". Plus, I think Federal Air Marshal's are a part of the TSA, so they do have a bit of power in the case of detaining/questioning etc.

This is Dept. of Homeland Security, after all.
