TSA operating procedures require a witness to be present during private screening. The witness may be another TSA Security Officer or someone that is traveling with you.
If cleared, you and your valuables will be allowed to enter the sterile side of the airport.
Private screening is also available to individuals randomly selected for screening at the airline gate.
We recommend that you carry these items with you at all times.
Currency Reporting: For international flights, you must report the transport of $10,000.00 USD or more to the U.S. Customs Service.

The understood statement here is that amounts under 10k have no need to be reported.

Great thread. it is a lesson that we don't need to tolerate unprofessional and intrusive bad behavior by screeners. It says 10,000 must be reported. This again doesn't apply unless going thru international customs. it doesn't even hint 5 times that is illegal. I had an employee marry a lady in Venezuela. They of course had a limit on how much of their currency on their end could leave their country with her. it did not tell the man how much the US would allow him to bring in in the form of american dollars in his ownership.
They pick the left extreme of the bell curve folks that don't have formal education nor travel experience.
