What do I do with all the cash. I don't want it stolen.
8.5k is easy enough. I usually split it up, and put half in a sealed envelope, deep inside my carryon bag, the other half in my wallet. When I carry anything over a few thousand, I'll usually have a shirt with a concealed inner pocket that I keep the big money wallet in. I've never done NOS yet, and hope to never had to do it. Never had a problem going through the normal screening with it.
