It is nothing whatsoever against you, but I just find it completely absurd that something completely legal to do requires an investigation. I sometimes travel with over $10k cash when traveling from the mainland to San Juan, simply because the hold times that PR banks place on mainland checks are extraordinarily long, especially when it's a check of that amount. I am honestly astounded that it is TSA requirement to investigate it.

I am assuming it would be a LEO that investigates and not the TSO, am I correct?
