Not without qualification.

By the way, that declaration is made to DHS (Customs, or whatever they call themselves now) and no one else.
It's not the police's or the airline business. Certainly not some night watchman or chump with a tin foil badge's business..
Ahhh, there you go qualifying your original statement. Gee, just as I did. I find it totally amazing that you can do it without garnering the ire of the local's and I as a TSO cannot. Sounds like a serious double standard going on here.
Oh, and FYI, transportation of such large amounts of US currency
IS the business of the US Government, which is why they require you to declare it or face criminal prosecution.
