Actually the view is wrong. It needs to show by law that they can ask about money. He knew that. There is no law that says it is illegal to carry non counterfeit currency. The right to possess legal tender is not removed during air travel.
To my knowledge, only Miami screens it's airport workers. If a baggage handler has more than 3 oz of salad dressing in his lunch pail, it is confiscated.
I am not messing with you. Why in the world would drugs move in America using an airplane with inspectors? Same with money. If you had 500,000 on you for dope, you would never need to fly commercial and domestic.

This is what I am looking for.

According to regulations against fraud, a citizen who enters Israel carrying more than NIS 80,000 must declare the money to customs authorities.

I wonder what wording the TSA has that would be similar to this. I think they must have something.
I also don't agree with you that the TSA only handles weapons and terrorists. It doesn't make sense that they wouldn't follow a money trail. The money is included in weapon and drug sales.
