Looks like his money needed to be checked.

I had several rational law profs. i see people read things into laws that just aren't there. It says his bags needed to be checked in the law and since there is something called money, it is suggested doing it in privacy. Same goes for carrying a taped shut cooler with an organ for transplant. It may not be opened and handled. I have had orthopaedic implants hand delivered. They may be sterile and the guards have to keep their filthy hands off of things.
Doesn't say that, it says to ask for privacy. If a crook saw your money, they could follow you and burgle you. I am unable to read that it is illegal.
It doesn't say they are to hassle you in private. Reminder, they are screening for knives weapons fluids etc.
