Then there is that illegal immigrant that has been in the spotlite in the news (CNN) the past couple of weeks who went thru a checkpoint with just under $60,000. He had earned it working odd jobs from the past ~10 years.

TSA contacted US Customs/Border Protection and money was confiscated because illegal immigrant was going home with the cash and (1) did not have dec form and (2) did not know about dec form. An offer was put on the table that he be given $10,000 back and leave the country by Jan 08.

If this illegal immigrant just had the dec form, chances are he would have made it on the plane and gone home with his hard earned money.
