They don't hassle you for properly reporting the money. Depending on the amount of money, they may count the money themselves to verify that you put the correct amount. This happened at DTW, the amount was about $100K in combined US and UK currency. Don't get excited, we don't play blackjack any more so don't look for any more exciting adventures involving large sums of cash!

You are returning to the States and you have checked off that you have more than $10000 on your customs form. You have the form FinCEN 105 in your pocket.
You give the customs form to customs; they see that the box is checked "yes". Then what happens? Do the customs people ask for you to give them the form? And what kind of questions do they ask? Do they hassle you?

Thanks
