Thank goodness we don’t live in a police state!

A woman tried to board a plane at Logan International Airport in February with $46,950 stuffed inside her bra. That’s a bit peculiar, but if you decide to carry a lot of cash, you have to decide the best way to keep it safe. And it IS legal to carry this amount of undeclared cash on a domestic flight. A Drug Enforcement Administration agent decided that this was drug money and he took it away from her. Now she’s guilty unless she can prove her innocence to get it back. You can read about it here. The agent figured out, all by himself, that she didn't need cosmetic surgery. Perhaps there’s yet more to the story.
