Good blog article on TSA fishing expeditions:

Fear of Flying:
"When Steve Bierfeldt, the Campaign for Liberty Staffer, was stopped and held for carrying $4,700 while going through airport security, the TSA explained that he violated their basic rule: Just do what you're told. If people would just cooperate, it would make our government's job so much easier.

"Quietly, the TSA backed off after suit was filed by the ACLU on Bierfeldt's behalf. As reported by the Washington Times:
'The new rules, issued in September and October, tell officers 'screening may not be conducted to detect evidence of crimes unrelated to transportation security' and that large amounts of cash don't qualify as suspicious for purposes of safety. Taken at face value, this is huge.'"
