Some posts about bring cash to/from US. Following was in US News today. If you carry large amounts of cash 

be prepared Incase your stopped. 

 

Two Dallas detectives searched a 25-year-old Chicago woman’s suitcase at Dallas Love Field Airport on Dec. 2 and seized more than $100,000 from the bag.

 

Civil asset forfeiture allows police to seize, then keep or sell the property they allege was involved in a crime, leaving someone whose property was seized to go to court to try to get it back.

 

The FBI has confirmed it took possession of the money.Under Texas law, authorities can seize assets without charging a person with a crime. 

 

Unfortunately, both TSA and DEA have policies that treat what they consider to be large amounts of money as presumptively suspicious and indicative of criminal activity,” Alban said.

 

Travelers leaving or flying into the U.S. must declare amounts of cash of at least $10,000.

Since 2000, $68 billion in civil assets have been seized by the government, according to the Institute for Justice.

OP: I’ve read a story a month ago in US. Two men with cash in car on the way to buy land had money confiscated 

without arrest. The person had to go to court and prove where and what money was for.. he got it back .. it was for

land... LAX to HK personally saw a man when boarding the airplane pulled out of line .. officers checked his wallet and escorted him away.

 

Best to be safe and avoid the ordeal of getting your money back.
