Exceeding the $10, 000 limit
I'm returning to BA soon and looking to bring in more than $10, 000 cash. I've done that before but not since the new fangled surveillance gear in US airports. I'm more concerned about getting popped going out of the USA than any problems at EZE. Any ideas about how to avoid a problem in the states would be appreciated. My experience is that a lot depends on which TSA wizard you happen to get, and whether or not they're on a mission from God.
I would have a total of $10, 000 in a money belt, probably two belts, but where to stash the overage where it wouldn't be seen by the super X-ray gizmo? Or am I giving those machines more credit than they deserve?
This wouldn't be necessary save for the current exchange problems. I would like to avoid the Xoom hassle for as long as possible. Also, you never know how long Xoom might be functioning in Argentina.
