now, before any one wads, this is about the TSA ..NOT BO- not Bush who started HLS -but the heavy handedness the TSA uses..there is NO law that says it is illegal to carry big ass amounts of cash on an airplane..I think this dude was harrassed as he was a Ron Paul libertarian type..I am glad he was able to tape the statements the "agents" made..what a thugacracy we are careening towards.
I trust no one in authority

In town for a conference, a director of Ron Paul's Campaign for Liberty is detained by TSA at the St. Louis airport because when asked to explain why he's carrying $4,700 in cash (it was proceeds from book and ticket sales at the conference), he asks the agents to tell him what law requires him to do so. He managed to surreptitiously record his conversations with TSA officers on a cell phone. The audio is infuriating.
