Bra.girdle,a79Yo Woman& Cash Undeclared

[Call me bubba]

seems that a 79yo woman who recently sold her house

and had no trust in the banks or remittance services was caught at the Detroit airport,w/41.000 in cash hidden in her bra and other sewn in parts of her clothes.

 

 

 

 Authorities say a 78-year-old Florida woman tried to fly from Detroit Metropolitan Airport with almost $41,000 in cash hidden inside her girdle, bra and carry-on bag.

 

A complaint filed Friday in U.S. District Court in Detroit says the woman was trying to board a flight April 2 to the Philippines when she said she had $200 in cash.

She submitted a form, however, saying she had $1,200,

prompting questions from Customs and Border Protection officers.

 

Following a search, authorities say about $21,000 was found in her girdle alone.

 

The woman hasn't been charged, but the government wants to keep the money. The Detroit News reported details of the request Friday.

I work for Homeland Security and I tell all the Pinays/Pinoys I know you have got to declare the money.  There is nothing that they can do if you declare it.  If you do not declare it and the catch you - goodbye life savings.  I don't know why they are so hard headed.  Especially with the emphasis now on combating bulk cash smuggling (easily construed as ill gotten gains from drugs, etc).

I don't know why they are so hard headed.

 

I have noticed this too. is it a MISTRUST of banks or ??(being cheap?)
