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.

My friend, it is IMO this kind of mindset that is allowing our freedoms to be taken away. There is NO LAW that prevents one from carry cash in any amount while traveling regardless of the method of travel. The only time you are "required" to "declare" how much and why is when you are traveling internationally, and then only if it exceeds $10,000.00 US.
He broke no laws, there was nothing to be enforced and this is NOT how it is supposed to be done!
Airport security had no right, reason, or justification to even question him as to the origin or purpose of said monies.
