You don't know anything about me, so are in no position to tell me what I am or what I'm not.
You don't seem to grasp the point that travelling with large amounts of cash that you absolutely refuse to answer basic questions about is something that will get law enforcement's attention in any airport for any flight.

I still hold out little hope that you are just some alter ego and everything you say is TIC, but I'm starting to fear that you are who you are...though I'm far from convinced that you do and have everything you say you do and have.

However, if you are as supremely accomplished as you claim to be, I would imagine that "$4,00" is not a lot of money to you...I just pray for your sake that you have someone proofread all the checks you must write.

In my company we run as many as 30,000 tickets a month with all our affiliates. .

Your "personal experience" doesn't really compare with what we see in our travel partnerships. Yep we deal with a lot of people in business that live on the road and the hassles by the TSA really do cut into the airline industry growth.

It seems you sure claim to know all about currency, contraband etc. I also see when people in the world have been shaped to the idea of carrying money and using cash is borderline illegal. something is wrong. Money is not contraband. The TSA can't seem to be open and show data on it's successes in "catching" people outside of those carrying weapons, hazardous materials etc.

We have used Carlson wagonlit div of Accorfor 15 years.

Sassoun is one of at least 17,000 passengers who've filed baggage theft complaints with the TSA since a new rule requiring checked bags be left unlocked. Her family's lost thousands of dollars in clothing. By 2004

They are catching 200. We have no weapons bringing down planes but the theft from unlocked baggage soars. Some airport checks, 70% of the planted weapons miss detection.

If you want to make sweeping constitutional realignment I applaud you, but I would pick somewhere other than security lines at an airport. At the very least, you should expect it to create some delay and further questioning. I think he did expect this and I'm not terribly impressed.

There are 17,000 claims of theft from baggage being opened and pilfered. The arrest rate for TSA handlers is much higher than for travelers. why is that?

Also explain why the TSA handlers that steal, Steal, are not reported to local cops as having stolen.

On a peak day after a holiday, 2 million people may fly. There are incredibly few arrested. But the arrest, indictment rate for TSA handlers is much higher. it looks like passengers abide by the law and the law breakers wear the "uniforms"

Show us some data and facts in your response. Thanks.

In previous years, we locked our bags. Now we deal with theft of items in bags. It is not the airline workers. it is the gubment workers.

Good luck is all I can say for him. Not likely to get anything. But if he gets his point across that will be worth something.
