More around 25%, if the officer was really courteous.
to the OP: if you want to read more about CTR's (currency transaction reports), go to:
http://www.irs.gov/compliance/enforc...113003,00.html
and
http://www.fincen.gov/forms/bsa_forms/ which shows the form and also its closely related friend, the SAR.
If you withdrew the money in the US, it will already be reported. You shouldn't feel paranoid about it, unless you are one of those people that the CTR is designed for
