Counterfeiting is the crime of producing fraudulent money or other documents which are lawfully contraband.

Money can be concealed and it can be counterfeited - so money can be contraband.

Wow... you want to be right BAD on this one sister.

I have never seen you stretch things like you are stretching it here.

Surely you don't really believe what you just posted to be a true depiction of factual evidence that legal tender Federal Reserve Notes are contraband?

Anyway... the extremes you are going to on this particular attempt brings even a person with a one dollar bill in their back pocket into suspicion.

This isn't about amounts. You are saying... full out... that cash... good ole American fiat cash... is contraband... period.

I sure hope you can catch a ride back from these stretches you are making.

Wouldn't they approach this the same way in a court of law? I'm just interrogating you, Digging! LOL!

I'm saying it can be considered contraband if it's hidden and looks suspicious.

I operate on grounds for suspecion. Wearing a long dark coat isn't illegal. But I believe airport security is well within their rights to ask that you open your coat if they feel like you're suspecious. If you decline...I think they are well within their rights to take you aside or even take you down. In addition, if you're carrying enough cash to make the individual agent feel you're suspecious...they are within their rights to ask a few questions or take you aside for more information.

This isn't a game. I know some are making political sport with it. But this is serious business.

You are not even a TSA employee. You don't operate on any grounds. You don't even have the job yet. Remember? You are still in the "expression of prejudice" phase.

Coadie...I've been a government account reconciler for over 5 years now. I'm just transfering to the aiport police SIDA control office. And feel free to judge me bro. Love ya.

You are expressing notions from your head and have not had either orientation nor training. I suspect it will be a challenge to last 30 days if you are approaching this from your giving everyone orders point of view.
Yes a buyer of a ticket is entitled to a flight. He by purchasing the ticket agrees to folow safety rules.
I get my info from a person that was over 300 agents at a cruise line that booked air, land and cruise ship tours.

Coadie...if this man doesn't abide by security policy, he has no right to a flight. That's all I'm saying.

As for my baggage. I have some. And I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

My children couldn't handle their jobs either. Years ago there was reference to the Peter principle. Finding one's level of incompetence.

our children do college on academic scholarships./ When they travel for snowboarding on break, I am sure they encounter some of the finest baggage gurus.


Those jobs are designed for people that are unable to continue formal education.
After review of the tapes, they select people for the job that are crazy. people with baggage.


There is no doubt the screeners I have seen for years would not have the tools to do ticketing or other mental related tasks.
It also requires a pleasant personality.

Aquila, you go obtain 12 years of university education after H.s. and then come talk to me on my level.

Coadie... it's hypothetical. If something or someone is suspecious security should be permitted to ask questions and/or act on it. That's all I'm saying.

No ma'am... it cannot.

If it is legal tender it cannot be considered contraband if it is not illegal for you to possess it.

Oh now you add a qualifier? If he doesn't own a ticket he also isn't entitled.

You also moved the goal posts and use the word "right" instead of "entitled".

Coadie...love ya bro. As a brother, I'm going to ask that you stop making this so personal. Please try to avoid personal insults or trying to insinuate something insulting.

Is it illegal to possess the cash if you are are suspected of drug dealing?
