He wasn't the only one playing games, if that's what he did. The officers who detained him should have been at LEAST smart enough to advise him of his rights. Surely they knew whether or not he HAD to answer the questions? LOL!!!!
They detained him FIRST, then he asked if he HAD to answer questions, and said he would answer, if they said he had to by law. That isn't entirely uncooperative, although I think I would have just said what I needed to in order to get out of there!
The security "official" should be irate with his employees for detaining someone for carrying $4700.00 (or so), when they could have been searching luggage for REAL threats.
I'm amazed, too, that $4700.00 is being deemed a large amount of cash. It really isn't.
