There was only a box of money that he was constitutionally allowed to walk around with. he was not detained because of any othe suspicious behavior that the money would then be considered an extension of the findings.

he was held for no other reason than the cash he had on his person.

and the harm done to him was among other things, he was held against his will for no legal reason by U. S. Federal Authorities.

That by itself, even if he did not miss his flight is damage to his person.

in fact, in larger context, it is a damage to all 300+Million Americans.

Okay, thanks. I didn't catch that it was his cell phone. So, why did he have a box of money?

I think they can come up with any excuse to detain you and get away with it.

Especially if one is ignorant of their rights.

Well thats what I want to avoid at all costs, still hiding any cash! Although we never travel with that much cash to begin with.

First... he is a free American and he can have a box of money if he wants to and no one has the right to ask him why. Very important point to remember there.

But... to answer your question... He had the box of money from sales of Campaign For Liberty T-Shirts, Caps and other items sold at a Campaign For LIberty rally he was returning home from.

I've been rigged with a recording device and had motive. What is the guy's motive? Why did he just happen to have the recording device on him at that time? These are questions that I would want answered.

What in your imagination makes any of us think they were not recording him also?
Many minutes of tape were missing. His carryon was x-rayed? He may have worn a Ron Paul button or two. Remember Missouri had a bulletin floating around seeking out radicals with Ron Paul bumper stickers.
since he was at a meeting for freedom Watch, they may have been expecting this and carried phones that were ready to record. He admitted they saw him carrying Ron Paul bumper stickers and campaign for liberty stickers.
