It follows that it is nobody's business and anyone encountering it during screening a US citizen at a US airport should just STFU about about it and go about their duties.
Currently, there are no laws regulating the transportation of any amount of any currency within USA borders.
What, pray tell, would be the constitutional basis of such a law that *did* limit how much of his own property the citizen could carry on him going about his own business? I suppose you could defend such a law by calling it fraud due to the discrepancy between the claimed value of this currency and its actual inherent value.
