first off, thanks for all of your input here and elsewhere but now for the "you know me".....

you reference that if "we find a large amount of cash money to report it to the STSO" so "me being me"....what defines a large amount as that is totally subjective. $1,000 to someone who is poor is a large amount yet $15,000 to someone traveling to las may not be (and back in the day when i was working and flush, that was me) so who makes the call as to what is large and what is not?
