We are talking about nabbing people for having box cutters, guns, knives, etc, BUT money can do much harm and maybe more in the long run - it can buy more and bigger things - pay for services, etc. toward terrorism, etc.
So, if the guy is suspect by having a box of money in his luggage - what is up with that? It is suspect, Digging.

Money is legal but when a policeman finds loads of cash along with drugs or illegal weapons, they have reasonable suspicion to believe that cash will be used for illegal activity and thus a reason to detain and question and even arrest and confiscate as evidence.
however, when there is no other evidence of illegal activity, law enforcement has NO LEGAL GROUNDS to detain the individual AT ALL.
