Despite the low numbers, George Naccara, TSA's federal security director for Logan, says the experiment is a good move by the agency to help narrow their search for potential threats. He says people found carrying fraudulent documents or large amounts of cash could represent terrorists testing airport security.
Yeah. "Could."

What represents a large amount of cash anyway, and why is that suspicious? What if the guy was flying to Vegas or was carrying cash from a political fundraiser (a la Steve Bierfeldt)?

We are now going to all but interrogate people for carrying cash over some unknown amount.

God, what a gutless, cowardly country we have become, filled with denizens convinced that every shadow is an Al-Qaeda operative.
