So from that, you jump to the conclusion that it is now a crime to carry cash in the US?!?
You're not the sharpest knife in the PPOT drawer, are you? First the metaphor thing, now this?
Just so you can rest your pretty head, it ISN'T a crime to carry cash in the US. Don't worry, evil Bush hasn't made that a law yet.
It IS, however, a crime to violate customs regulations by bringing more than $10,000 in cash into the US from a foreign country WITHOUT DECLARING IT.
Which is what this guy did.
And before you work yourself into a lather about how this must be an evil plot by George Bush or the Republicans to violate the liberties of people coming into this country, be aware that this is a common customs rule in countries throughout the world. Including fascist countries like Mexico and Canada.
