I was recently questioned by TSA in Boston after they found a few thousand $ in the bottom of my laptop bag. They demanded to know how much it was I asked if there were any limits on carrying cash when travelling domestically they said that yes there was but they refused to tell me what that limit was. I told them it was around $6ks (truthfully) and they did not doublecheck but they still refused to tell me the limit to which I doubt there actually is one.
I was also recently detained in PDX accused of carrying NitroGlycerin which I was to my knowledge not. After a meticulous search of my bags making me miss my flight one of my showergels tested positive for a small trace of NitroGlycerin. I asked if this is an illegal substance I was told that it wasn't. So if it isn't illegal why spend all that time trying to find it??
