I found this news story today: http://donklephant.com/2009/04/02/ron-paul-supporter-detained-by-tsa-for-carrying-cash/

I have to say, while the motives of TSA may be good, they have to be one of the worst government agencies we have.

This guy needs to make sure that his story gets out there so that people are more aware of some of the government intrusion that's going on.

And actually, when I went to Europe, I carrier $2,000 cash on me, because I didn't have a debit card, and didn't know if I would be able to get to a bank (it was a per force guided tour).

Same with me (although I was only carrying around $700 or $800).

Point is - I don't care if it was money given to him to take somebody out - without probable cause, you can't detain somebody, and $4,700 isn't probable cause.
