If this woman had been arrested at a Burger King you wouldn;t care less, but the evil bad dirty TSA was involved so it must be wrong.
The BK employees would have no reason to call the cops or the DEA.
If you see someone wearing $47k worth of gold/plat/diamonds at the checkpoint, do you call the cops/DEA to have it seized? If not, why not?
Oh, I see. A corrupt federal law (and some matching state laws) provides that large amounts of cash or negotiable instruments are prima facia evidence of criminal activity, while large amounts of bling are not criminal.
