As far as I know I've never seen a DEA agent, that good enough for you?
I've never had a cop ask to search my vehicle either.
But why would you carry a boatload of cash in plain sight at an airport?
And again, if it was completely legal for cops to accost random strangers and take their money for no apparent reason, they would do it all the time. There would be roadblocks specifically so cops could steal from all the motorists. They be stopping passersby on the sidewalk. Why wouldn't they if they can just get free money? It would be all they do full time, since many people think cops are just in it for red light and speed camera revenue anyway.
Right?
You seem pissed that cops haven't stopped you and stolen your money.

A guy used to have a Knife shop at the Charlotte Hall farmers market. He said that he would bid on containers at Govt. auctions full of knives, scissors, and anything sharp that was confiscated like that. He would bid on lots, sight unseen, and hope for the best. Sometimes he got lucky, and sometimes he got junk.
Nope, just laughing that YOU think people don't carry cash when traveling

If I may ...
For your consideration ...
Devil's advocate here. There is nothing illegal about carrying large amounts of legal tender US currency. In fact, there are many that do not trust banks and keep their money at their home. "Normal people", who are not really normal, but programmed, have been conditioned to not carry large amounts because of the promotion and use of checks, credit cards, and various payment apps, over their lives. The argument for not carrying large amounts because of "drug activity", or one must be into drug dealing or drug use, is a red herring to force people into using traceable and trackable credit card and payment app transactions though digital means.
Your statement, could be construed to mean also that you are also suspect of "normal people" that carries a firearm for self-defense. It could easily be changed to read, Who carries a concealed firearm with them? People engaged in illegal activity, that's who.
In a free United States, it shouldn't even be questionable when someone carries a large amount of money. It's their business alone. Unless it is proven, through a proper investigation, or as in an illicit activity sting, that the reason the cash is used, is found is to be associated with criminal activity.
Why does someone, anyone, have to prove carrying large amounts of cash is on the "up and up" anyway? Ya see? You too, have been programmed, conditioned, to see nefarious actively absent any real credible and concrete evidence to the contrary, as to the reason no one should have, or have the need, to carry large amounts of money.
These confiscations, absent true cause, have been used solely to instill fear in the public, to change their collective behaviors, to fall in-line with the goal of being able to track every individual's spending habits.
Don't fall for it.

I'm more skeptical that DEA agents randomly steal from people at airports. How do they know the person they're targeting has cash on them in the first place? Do they just get lucky?
That's not even the same thing. It's against the law to carry a firearm on an airplane. If you need to do that for some reason, you declare it to the powers that be and they either yay or nay. I think but am not positive that even if you pack a gun in your checked luggage, you still have to declare it.
What are you even talking about? I think I was clear that just randomly targeting airline passengers doesn't seem like a good way to make money. One would think for every time they hit the jackpot, there would be hundreds of people they tried to shake down who had a couple bucks on them. And yet we don't hear about people with $20 in their pocket having it stolen by LE.
How do the agents know who's carrying a large amount of cash and who isn't?
Also, *I* am the devil's advocate, not you. You're the one reading an allegation on the internet by an anonymous source and going along with the crowd by believing it without question.
You are correct who shows large amounts of cash ? A friggin moron in my opinion.
I know where she works.

2 ways. 1, they literally ask you when flying internationally 2, they have a very distinctive look on an x-ray machine (especially when bundled together).

Proving Vrai's point. That was definitely illicit activity (Don King never promoted a legitimate fight in his life)
