As should be expected because of the shared border with Mexico, Laredo news has reports of two other
significantly large currency seizures; one from another Chicagoan who was found to be transporting $214,925 in unreported currency in her vehicle and, more interestingly, and a 21 year old Washingtonian who was transporting $115,594 in currency hidden in seven bundles underneath her clothing.
Both seizures occurred the same day and at the same location. As before, the Laredo news does a decent job of getting the law on this topic right, which I have explained before here by noting that you can petition for the return of the currency and that the person transporting the unreported currency is subject to arrest for criminal violations.
That brings me to the next point:
