So? Different countries, different rules. She's from there, so she knows what to expect. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Side note: I went to Barriloche. One the the prettiest place I have ever been.

DID you even read your own post? Grammar. And to your flawed point, do you really think TSA is only screening for explosives and knives, but not other contraband? Ah, ok. Hey you know what, disregard my comment about the grammar and well, you’re doing a pretty good job there buddy. In fact I’m proud of you. Yeah you can!

Today’s gold price is $1,765. 2204g is approximately $3.7 million. What am I missing in the value?
Isn’t $1765 per oz? Which would be approx $137k

Thanks. I calculated based on price per gram vs ounce.

You have a point, if it was a pilot I for one would have probably given some benefit of doubt.

In The USA the police seize large quantities of money all time for merely being suspicious for A having large quantities of money.

Hey, Nancy says they need to track all your transactions over $600 out of your bank account so they can't catching billionaires evading taxes, so they're just doing it for our own good.
