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.</font>
Just because something is the law doesn't make it moral or "right". I can understand people not wanting to follow this particular law. While I may not flout the law, I do not agree with it and can understand why people would not obey it.
