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.

I'd have to know what the airport's policies are. We know the federal standard but there may be procedures for lesser amounts of cash that airport security are to abide by. We also don't know other factors. How was he acting? Did he react cooperatively or was his response enough to warrant a closer look? In this day and age I certainly don’t want airport security playing games or being afraid to delay and ask questions of individuals. This guy should have been “Johnny Cooperative”. He was playing games and deserved the delay.
For the record, he wasn’t charged with breaking any laws. He was simply delayed and checked out to make sure he had no warrants and wasn’t a threat to public safety.
