TSA Detains/Harasses C4L Guy in St. Louis [Youtube]

I'm pretty sure this is the fault of the MIAC or federal government that sent this Terrorist Watchlist to the TSA. They should be put at fault here above the TSA which is just following orders. We need to get these people cleared of these ludicrous charges; this could be any of us who because we voted for a candidate are suspect.
We should contact all those special interests like ACLU to what happened this shouldn't be just OUR fight this is a problem for ALL Americans who still believe in our rights as citizens.

Well, it looks like my thread got merged with this one.
At least add the SendSpace link to the main post, so people can download the audio.

Note to self: Purchase audio recorder.
You're required by law to declare anything over 10,000 in cash. That guy had 6 times the legal limit and failed to report it.
That Ron Paul supporter was carrying roughly half the amount required by law. I'm guessing the TSA flagged him as a person with possible drug connections trying to fly low under the radar by only carrying half the amount allowed by law. The FBI agent was probably watching this guy for other reason and told the TSA guy to bug off.

Isn't that only if you are flying out of the country?

Flying in or flying out...does not apply to domestic flights within the country.

I just had a chance to listen to the full recording and am a bit disappointed in the final results.
In the end he did not go free while keeping his mouth shut. In the end he answered their questions and told them who he worked for (CFL) and that the money was "campaign donations" Well he didn't really offer up that, but he did answer yes to their direct questions about it -- seemingly after they had finally put all the pieces together and figured it out.
Note: I'm not bagging on how he handled himself; but in the end he did tell them everything they wanted to know. I would be more impressed/surprised if he had managed to walk away and take his flight; with them still not knowing where the money came from or whose it was...

Yeah, the full version is quite a bit different than the implied result from listening to the freedom watch episode and the shortened clip. They say or imply in the freedom watch clip that a plainclothes fbi guy showed up and just told them to let him go, but that was not the case. They let him go because they got all their questions/concerns answered. This wasn't really a "win" in my book.
If I was one that perpetuated the belief: "If you have nothing to hide you should be able to answer the questions." I would hold up the full clip as "proof" of this position. Because the guy didn't have anything to hide and as soon as he answered the questions, he was free to go....
