Of course, you did not see where the special apparatus was located.

airport security is hired to find weapons and names of people in the system that have threats in the past. You can't blow up a plane with paper currency.
You don't respect our laws for some reason. I had an employee from Venezueala and they do have laws about how much currency they can cross borders with.

Some liberal wackos had pushed a "terrorist profile bulletin"

The Missouri State Police did exactly what they were told to in their secret report. On Governors letterhead.

Starting April 13th I'll be working at the local airport as a SIDA security controller for internal employees and contractors. I'll work under the airport division of the local police department. These police officers are police officers and can react as any law enforcement officer. Just because they are working the airport doesn't mean that they can only police weapons and those who are listed on STA. They are looking for terrorists, drug dealers, kidnappers, slave traders, arms dealers, theives, con-men, smugglers, etc. And in a post 9/11 it's not easy. And then factor in idiots like this giving you a bad day.

People's actions make them suspect. Personally, I just think this guy's stupid because he shouldn't carry this kind of cash while traveling. He asked for it in my opinion. Detaining him until he was cleared caused him no harm.

Put yourself in the shoes of airport security.

lets see. airport secruity.

Keep people on airplanes protected.

dude has a box cutter in his pocket. Take it away from him, ask a bunch of questions, run a background check and maybe not let him on the plane. check

dude is carrying an AK-47. Send him to jail. check

dude as $4500 bucks cash on him. ask myself a question. if this guy tosses a wad of bills at the pilot, will that bring down the plane? no. leave dude alone.

sorry, I dont see where cash = danger to airplane. Not-Normal does not = danger. it never has.

Perfectly LEGAL behavior is no reason to detain anyone.

I'm currently reading Ron Paul's book "The Revolution: A Manifesto." I have to travel for business soon. Do I dare take the book with me? In my laptop bag? In a carry on? Take it at all? Will I be singled out as a possible terrorist?

The cash was not in view for all to see.

This would be my view as well.

It is entirely possible.

And some here will say that you should have been wiser than to carry the reading of your choice with you.

But, I can say that it's very aggravating that they pull aside those that don't harm society and let the others go. That's something I don't like.

You might be suprised. Though we don't always hear about it...they catch quite a few unsavory individuals. I know this guy's got his panties in a bunch because he was delayed. But it's only a delay. He's fine and these measures do far more good than we give them credit for.

I would have also have expected a little bit of having to answer for it.

A delay or temporary detainment without charges until one is cleared of any wrong doing after becoming suspect isn't an infringement on Constitutional rights.

Put yourself in the shoes of law enforcement and airport police and safety officials. Do you want international money launderers, drug dealers, arms dealers, and terrorists caught? I do.

This guy's just grumpy. If you don't want to wake the tiger...don't step on it's tail.

A delay or temporary detainment without charges until one is cleared of any wrong doing after becoming suspect when one has done NOTHING wrong or suspicious and is actully being detained spicifically for doing something that is COMPLETLEY LAWFUL is kidnapping by federal autorities.

Well, I think he was trying to prove a point, and HE knew he was recording the conversation. If it had been me, I would have just said, "I just came from a fundraising event, and these are the funds collected from t-shirt/bumper sticker sales, etc." I do realize that we don't HAVE to give certain information, and I respect his right to withhold it. As one of the guys in the video stated, keeping him off the airplane is one thing; escorting him to the police station simply for carrying cash on his person (or in his suitcase) is really stupid. What next? Are police officers who stop people for speeding going to go through their purses, wallets and vehicles to see if they're carrying cash, and take them down for questioning if they have more than a certain amount?
