Man detained for trying to carrying cash onto plane
 

:Oh crap

I thought anything under $10k did not require any type of justification. This is a sign of the fascism to come :Oh crap

But that won't hurt the gfy obama'tards since they probably never seen more than a hundred bucks in cash :2 cents:

I think its only 10k when leaving the country.

Fucking idiots.

I have lots of stories about the police and customs.

I will never trust them.

Why even bring up Obama? Did he start the TSA, Patriot act, etc.?

This is why I wear my Obama/Biden pin when traveling with cash.

The situation was ridiculous... it is, unfortunately, a common occurrence... not just with TSA but with any law enforcement. I have been harassed about having $2100 in cash before (in Michigan) and they weren't going to give it back to me until I could prove where I got it. Luckily, I had the check stub in my car. The cash wasn't half of the problem though... the real issue there was that I was with my buddy Wesley (who is black) and I had driven him down to a convenience store where his sister worked so that he could talk to her. It was about 8:30PM and I stayed in the car parked in the parking lot. Next thing you know... I have a cop pull up behind my car (blocking it) and the cop made me get out of my car and he searched me and pulled everything out of my pockets and put me (in cuffs) in the back of his car while they searched my car for drugs. Of course, they didn't find anything... It is the #1 reason I moved out of Michigan.

On the other hand, that dude in the middle is a loon talking about govt controlled capitalism... that was just a veiled attempt to swipe at Obama (FAIL). Maybe these guys should actually go into the real world where you can be detained and harrased for being white in a black neighborhood or the other way around.

You are an idiot.... just like that dude in the middle.

This is why I do not mouth off to cops and other people who can always find a legal way to fuck with your shit, even if you feel you are being wronged at the time. Hell he already had his recorded evidence if he wanted to out them etc.

Now feel free to say I am part of the problem and am giving up my rights etc. Which I really am not, I just happen to know which battles to take on.

Actually the whole panel was/is anti-Bush pro-liberty.

What is your point? It was still the same kind of swipe... just like PussyMan made... seriously, the Ron Paul supporters are even worse than wingbats sometimes because they start fake sites all the time with all kinds of racist shit. theobamaforum.com <-- example

Actually seeing John Stossel there is what made me watch it and give it some creditability. I do like this guy, do not think he has a hidden agenda, and is really interested in everyone's best interest.

Sorry if I spelled his name wrong.

I don't mind the judge either... he doesn't rant propaganda. That dude in the middle is a wackadoo tho. I have seen him on some of the other Fox programs like Hannity's America.

You are dumb fuck :2 cents:

the founding fathers are spinning in their graves

I'm not the one who says retarded shit all the time like you do. You calling me a dumb fuck is like someone with Downs Syndrome calling Einstein retarded.

Look fuck face, Obama's cock is so deep in your ass that you can suck his cock from inside. So please de me a favor and disappear. You're just like all the other retarded liberals here who just feel the need to call anyone who disagree with them dumb.

Just remember me when they take you to the death chambers, because make no mistakes about it, Obama and his goons will turn out as the worst dictator/slaughterer of all time.

Now fuck you.

you guys arguing about partisanship when this has more to do with a general trend over decades away from freedom and liberty :2 cents:

You can solve the problem by replying with something intelligent instead of the stupid shit you always say like above. We call you stupid, idiot, retarded, etc because we characterize you by your posts. Try applying brain power to your posts and you probably won't be called those names. Personally, I don't think you are capable of posting anything intelligent because you have proven yourself to be a narrow minded loon over and over.

Exactly :2 cents: That was my point in the post above... it is a common issue... not something brought on by PussyMan's paranoid delusions.

most of the police around the world is just retarded

You had paranoid delusions that the "controlled capitalism" was a swipe at Obama. The fact that the panel believes we have been in controlled capitalism for many many years.
But I do believe we are all on the same side when it comes to liberty and freedoms.

the rule of 10K

anything over $9,999.99 (USD) is a major problem to the Treasury Dept....as they think your doing something criminal with the cash....money laudering.

So how hard would it have been to explain that and you are sitting down in 2 minutes. I have had the same thing and those don;t care what you say as long as you say it.

Ok... I will admit that I may have jumped the gun on that statement... but as I said... I have seen that same dude on some other Fox shows where he has made those same arguments (specifically about the Obama admin)... Most recently he was ranting about Obama promoting One World Govt. (which is purely a conspiracy theory that can be applied to every president for the last 40+ years). The John Birch Society has been promoting that theory for all of those years + some.

Your exactly right... it's only methods where we differ. Only an idiot would think that the TSA acted correctly in the video you posted... it's a non partisan issue.

Dude wingbats can be found anywhere. Obama has terrorists and wingbats supporting him http://www.newblackpanther.com/ <---- example

But we could go on and on back and forth with that and it would be useless.

I hate the assumption that cash = criminal.

And don't tell me that only underdeveloped countries are cash oriented, because in Japan cash is very popular too.

:sleep:sleep:sleep

I was turned back from US Customs because I'm a Canadian who works online.
The agent decided that since I work online, I could, in theory, work from anywhere so the only reason I would enter the US is to do work there, and denied me entry.

Once I was denied entry, I was flagged and now have to answer a battery of questions every time I go and it's a 50/50 shot if I make it through.

One they even pulled me and my family in and had FOUR agents search through all of our luggage and baby food and everything in my vehicle for hours.

And why? Because they thought I was going to do work?? What were they going to find in the baby food to prove that?

LOL its been 10k since the anti money laundering acts decades ago

blame ronald regan

:1orglaugh

I think our view of "wackadoo" is completely different... because I don't see untruthful racist rants on their website. I agree that individual members may be wacko's... but I never characterize the entire GOP either. The people I refer to as "wackadoo" are fringe members who say stupid shit like:

• "Just remember me when they take you to the death chambers, because make no mistakes about it, Obama and his goons will turn out as the worst dictator/slaughterer of all time." <-- this one takes the cake
• Obama is a socialist
• Democrats are communists
• Obama is a Muslim
• Obama isn't a US citizen
• Obama "Pals around with Terrorists"

I actually consider myself to be a moderate on most issues. So it's fringe shit like this that that bugs me.

When you hear about a "friend of a friend" carrying around several thousand dollars in cash, what is the first thing you think? You think drug dealer. Why? The thought process is "why else would someone carry around that much cash?"

Now I know many people that carry around hundreds of dollars in cash at any given moment. It's just what they do. They want to have cash on hand if they need something.

Having cash on hand is not proof of illegal activity. Suspicious? Maybe. But you need more than suspicions to harass someone, cuff them, and be a total pain in their ass.

This isn't Bush's fault or Obama's (he just took office for Christ sakes), this is a gradual progression that has happened over the decades because people are needlessly afraid of everything that they don't understand. So they pressure the representatives to do something about it. The representatives create laws to make their constituents happy. And then we get this. Too many laws and programs expecting the worst out of everyone... it's a shame.

the "simple" reason why they want a cashless society....2 words....paper trail.....easier to track and easier to TAX.....

the govent doent like to send "checks" anymore.....look at H&R Block they will file your taxes electronically plus if your getting any money back from the IRS have that sent to your bank account by Direct Deposit or like this-

they do it to retirees (social security recepients) as well-

We must be going to different websites because this is on the front page

Talking about a race war. :helpme:error

But anyway back on topic lol

Sorry but the guy should have told them what he does while recording and if they then responded negatively towards him and what he does for a living, that's when the officers would be in the wrong. Being the fact that he was flying out of one of the most drug ridden cities in the USA gives the officers the right to ask someone who is carrying a large sum of cash in all small bills from ticket type sales where and why. If they then act inappropriately towards him he has a complaint. You can not expect anyone who is a security guard for a career to figure out stuff, they ask questions. He is basicly asking them to assume what he does, and when they all start assuming what we all do for a living thats when we are fucked. I prefer to be asked.

The guy could have just as easily stopped at a bank and put it in a cashiers check, hell it would have made him safer. In St Louis he is fucking lucky he didnt get robbed looking that goofy. And mind you this guy was not a 45 year old man, he in fact was a 25 year old young man and most young men carrying around that amount of money are drug dealers.

Checks leave the same paper trail. I don't really get what you are trying to say here?

The Gov will always send checks and still does. Lots of people don't have bank accounts, lots of Vets don't have bank accounts.

Did you read the story? http://www.thenation.com/doc/2009010...tsideaccordian

I don't know where you live... but in my lifetime there have been alot of racist killings of black people here in the south. I am pretty sure that if the same thing had been occurring to white people they might feel the same way.

That is some seriously fucked up shit. Detaining law abiding citizens with no justification whatsoever should be grounds for immediate dismissal for police.

yes...your right on that but....checks dont get "stolen", lost in the mail.....and the US govnt wants savings...printing out and mailing out physical checks is not cost effective.
