Hidden in underwear: CBP seizes nearly $100K from Dulles travelers
U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers at Dulles International Airport seized nearly $100,000 in unreported cash from two groups of travelers attempting to board flights to Brussels. The money was concealed in undergarments, a purse, and pants, though carrying large amounts of currency is legal if properly reported. Both groups were released without criminal charges, and CBP emphasized that the reporting requirement aims to detect potential smuggling, not restrict legitimate travel.
