But, IMHO folks...I think we are reaching a point (or honestly beyond the point) of using my favorite 2 rules:

1) Do not argue with a crazy person and 2) do not try to understand a crazy person!!

But hey...I expect this thread to continue into the insane stage!!!

How about the proverb:

Since $4700 is nowhere near what they take home every two weeks, I'd say so.

I was referring to their federal paycheck, but you do have a point.

Your post sums everything else perfectly. What the TSA is doing with the cash is just general law enforcement.
see, i told you i wasn't a g-man (and i am having a bad posting day all over f/t today-not just here )

I have a bachelor party coming up soon and rumor has it, I will need a "serious amount" of singles for the entertainment aspect of this party.

It will be interesting to see if TSA gives me a hard time carrying a "large sum" of singles for the "other" needy people at this party to keep them "happy"!!!

But hey...no good deed goes unpunished!!!

I think we are on to something here. This is not the first TSO that has asked Ron to shut up and learn his job properly.

Actually Eric my boy, I was not defending her actions, I was providing information on where her authority to search begins and ends. She screwed up by stating that she knew what was in the envelopes when she could not have known without opening them. She gave the court her opinion about what was in them, and stated it as fact. Yeah, she screwed up good.
