checked for money while leavving Florida

12 years ago
I want to print this event that took place to a friend of ours leaving Florida this past week.They,a retired couple were leaving Florida for Panama and had gone through all the various inspections and had actually got to the door of the plane when they were informed by people identifying themselves as homeland security agents that they wanted to know from all Americans boarding the plane how much money they were carrying.The man who had served for over thirty years in the US Navy was asked to empty all his carry on bags and his pockets and was body checked outside the door of the plane as well as his wife all the while people how were not Americans were allowed past to board.He states every American who was boarding was warned they were not to be carrying more than $10,000. and if they had more and it was not declared it would be seized by these agents and this was to do with the passing of the new law brought into effect July 1,2014.He of course went along with them but has written his various politicians regarding this heavy handed rude way of dealing with him and his wife.His comment to them was when did we start living in a police state to which there was no answer of course and no attempt was made to assist them in repacking there carry on bags.
They don't want you leaving with your money people so be careful out there.....
He is so upset they may never go back.
