Yeah, you posted it years ago, and it's just as useless, wrong, and un-Constitutional today.

1) Francine never answered the direct question: Is a traveler required by law to answer a TSO's questions about bulk cash? If so, cite the law.

2) WHY does TSA consider bulk cash to be evidence of possible illegal activity requiring notification of law enforcement? Carrying large amounts of cash when traveling is not suspicious, it's not unusual, it's not atypical, and it's most certainly not illegal or illicit in any way, so why does TSA insist that it's somehow an indicator of potential criminal activity? Does TSA also call the cops any time someone transits a c/p wearing a $20,000 Rolex watch or a $5,000 H. Huntsman suit?

3) WHY does TSA even mention the declaration requirement for for cash over $10,000 when traveling internationally? This requirement is monitored entirely by CBP, who checks travelers AFTER the TSA security screening, so it's none of TSA's concern whatsoever.

Basically, your agency is wrong, it's breaking the law, and it's intentionally harassing travelers who carry bulk cash in an attempt to perform a strictly law enforcement function - to look for drug-related cash transactions.

I don't really expect a straight answer from you, but I'll continue to ask for them, because the American public has a right to transparent government that doesn't harass, oppress, or abuse them.
