      Kermit hadn't done anything wong--it's legal to travel with any amount of cash--& was never charged with any crime. He was a victim of TSA's & DEA's unconstitutional "see cash, seize cash" policies, which @IJ is challenging at airports nationwide. #Forfeiture #PolicingForProfit

      But despite not charging him (& nothing connecting his money to illegal activity), DEA is trying to permanently keep his life savings based on extremely flimsy "evidence." @IJ is defending Kermit's life savings from federal govt's predatory #PolicingForProfit #forfeiture abuses.

      We @IJ have a nationwide class action challenging TSA's & DEA's #unconstitutional "see cash, seize cash" warrantless seizure policies at #airports. Traveling with #cash is not a crime & seizing cash without #ProbableCause violates the #FourthAmendment.https://ij.org/case/dea-tsa-forfeitures/ …

      @stevebierfeldt Didn't TSA settle with you by promising not to seize cash at airports any more?

      He did. But sadly they seem to have relapsed.

      If it's helpful for you, here is how it ended and the TSA policy change that came from it.https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/tsa-fixes-search-policy-after-aclu-sues?redirect=national-security/tsa-fixes-search-policy-after-aclu-sues …

      Thanks! We discuss your case at some length in our Amended Complaint in Brown v. TSA et. al. They adopted new written policies but still seem to be up to their same old shenanigans, as the Amended Complaint lays out in exhaustive detail.https://ij.org/case/dea-tsa-forfeitures/ …

      Great work and good luck, @DanAlban and @IJ. I followed Steve's case very closely in 2009, and it's super frustrating to see the TSA back at it.
