So, you are complaining that they didn't arrest you the second time? I really can't understand your thought process here. It's either you're one self destructive person wishing harm on yourself, or you're just trying to show off that you travel to and from US.


Frankly I would have arrested him for the first offense.

No legitimate traveller fails to remember how much he's traveling with.

My point is it's simply "Systematic Prejudice". They just pick on anyone. Declaring isn't a biggie tho, but at least 80% of Passengers with >$10K don't.

Btw... Travelling or living in the U.S has no bearing on my life. Who cares? Does any of my posts suggest that? it's just an experience.

I'm pretty sure people from other races get arrested for this particular crime in the airports, but why should Nairaland report it? They're not Nigerians, and you don't know for sure that it's only Nigerians getting arrested. I don't even mind if Nigerians are the major suspects in airports, but stop painting a picture that just isn't true.

I understand this people are strict with their laws not like this poo hole. However, it is morally wrong to take someones money when you know such monies will still be spent in your country. Why not just charge a small fine for their crime according to the amount undeclared in lieu of taking such a huge chunk. Greedy goats, someones sweat!

It does not change the fact that trump is on a path of war and presently in Europe trying.to rally england,France and northern Ireland to b on his side incase.. He is pulling out all cruise ships from Cuba,he is building border of mexico,he is fighting China with huaowei,he does not want Ireland to buy 5g from huawei,he com deh travel around england running helter skelter to ruin China..China and Putin are solidifying ties..why now he know he has to go to Ireland and England when he knows they want to support the 5 g fr China..licking foot..shaking France president like a nigger..the guy is a boot licker.

This same.president is enemy with Iran,Russia,China,Cuba and the congress is fighting for him not to sell as to the GCC

He thinks arming uae,Saudi and its fake allies will make Russia not destroy those ones in a month...cos Qatar does not support his tyrancy,they have been put on embargo from the GCC by Egypt,Saudi,use,Oman for two years and they are adjusting..

800000 bookings affected due to the Cuban crisis. Cuba that Obama restored peace between both countries..

War is looming and I am telling you this for fact

USA will loose this war...China,north Korea,Russia,will destroy all the allies he thinks he has.thwyqill go into extiction..

Why is he I'm Europe now again rallying against Britain and Europe not going 5g?

Egungun be careful..he is a fool.

China and Russia bracing fr sanctions and says they are loyal to each other. Tarrifs is your weapon to make government bend to your will right

What a bully..

The funny thing is they're biased with this thing. Many people travel with >$10K everytime and never had to report their cash whereas they just randomly pick on pple. Pure Systematic Prejudice! angry

I was on my way home 2yrs ago to 9ja and, while on-boarding the plane, a K-9 sniffer dog sniffed me and was asked to strip in a private room. I was asked the amt with me which I revealed. Every single amount was manually counted. They later found some change in my back pocket and told me everything could have been forfeited cuz of the change (<$80).

Last year on my trip to 9ja, I even had way more and no sniffer dog, no hassle, I went without any obstruction.

Those dogs are trained to sniff cash

Chai.$15k just like that.


They will get the money once they can show how the money was made. Hopefully they are not citizen because if they are here comes the IRS.

Yes bro. Either wads or stash of cash... there's a unique reaction from the dogs at every of those smells. They'll also react differently if it was drugs and stuff.

What is prejudice about it? The law is the law. Mind you, when next you are caught you might not be lucky. I am sure they have documented the first time. So you can't claim ignorant.
By the way, it happens to me before at Chicago Airport.

How is it systematic prejudice? From your own account the dog singled you out.... most likely a narco dog. If you are not a first time traveler as you suggest then you should know they will put you under the microscope....that's routine. So why all this mouth?... and claim of prejudice?...and you are soooo bold and smart to travel again with more cash than declared? Clap for yourself.
@ topic... smart couple... so they believe.... most likely did it before....or the type that it is against their nature to follow the law.... they would be uncomfortable if they follow all the rules. Some people have to pay to learn... the US is very good at making you do that.
