You know what man, you&#x27;re absolutely right. But most people here are going to disagree with you, downvote you, and your brand new account is only going to be visible when I click &quot;showdead&quot; because apparently HN can&#x27;t handle an opinion without hitting the down button.<p>I would bet you so much, not a soul on HN would dream of carrying 11k in cash through an airport.<p>It&#x27;s ok though, we should make sure people have the right to do that, since 300 years ago before we even had ACH transfers or airplanes the constitution guaranteed us protection against unreasonable search and seizure.<p>There are cases where I sympathize a lot with the victims of civil asset forfeiture, but this is not one of them.
