#5 No.. Read the other side of this on a tech article. The TSA is testing a system that monitors people (Sort of a lie detector on steriods). It has hi-def video and infra-red and sniffers, microwave and mag sensors... all tied into a near AI analysis program. For the test phase they need to ask questions in a double blind way. Some of those asked are TSA folks pretending to lie or tell the truth and some are real folks. The "AI" is a learning one..... and its networked everywhere. They hope to have a sensored environment watching us - and not just at the airport.

#7 Why does carrying a large amount raise suspicion of terrorism? The TSA is supposed to be checking for people who want to bad things to the airplanes (and soon trains, buses and automobiles). A terrorist who is planning on blowing up a plane is unlikely to be carrying lots of cash.

#8 But one who is financing and enabling terrorism might be, especially in the face of effective monitoring of transactions across banks etc.

And using cash to pay for rental cars, plane fares etc. is a useful way to avoid being detected before you're successful. The FBI connected the dots on the Colorado-based would be attacker of NYC in part through tracking credit card charges for such things, according to news reports.
