LOL... b/c it's fun to spin a story... here we have an innocent guy just strollin' through the airport ('cause he likes the free a/c) w/ some cash in his pockets... forget the subtle nuance of the english language which actually distinguished between 'carrying' and 'bringing in' (while hiding it) an unlawful amount
go ahead guys, why don't you just invite him over and show some hospitality... i'm sure he's just a lost, confused exchange student...
