Stop and Seize
This story is so unbelievably biased and one-sided, it confirms my suspicions of the value of the Washington Post anymore.<p>Carrying $75K in cash around should raise anyone's suspicions as to the purpose, no matter what the carrier claims. Think about it. Why would YOU carry $75K in cash?<p>The obvious and well known reasons are, it's the most secure way to fund drug and terrorist cells without leaving a trail. The Post even acknowledges that!<p>"There is no question that state and federal forfeiture programs have crippled powerful drug-trafficking organizations, thwarted an assortment of criminals ... "<p>But not until they make their accusations and end the above sentence with:<p>"... and brought millions of dollars to financially stressed police departments."<p>Note that only a sixth of those seizures were ever challenged but the Post claims it's only because it's too expensive to do so. They do NOT question whether it's because it's drug or terrorist funding (and I will state that it is).<p>Just unbelievable what these formerly trustworthy newspapers are churning out nowadays.
