I am in Denver this weekend. Here is a very sad story from today's local paper about what can happen if you fail to declare a large sum of cash as you take it out of the country:

I find it hard to believe that the article spun the story so that Customs comes across as the bad guys here.
Not only did the passengers fail to declare the cash up front, but they also LIED to the customs officer when asked. Sad as it may be to see them lose the money, no civilized society can allow folks to get away with openly flaunting the law like that.
