There WILL be special measures taken by the goverment for things like this... I hope -Brian Actually, the Government has prepared for things like this;-) --> Civil Forfeiture Laws . Orignally, you had to report a withdrawl of over $10,000 to the IRS and to the DEA; but now, If you are carrying more than $2000, you are presumed to be a drug dealer. (that is the amount that basketball player was popped for in Indiana) Add to that the Supreme Court decision this last session that there is no equivalent to the Miranda in civil forfeiture. They are not required to spell out for you the procedure to reclaim YOUR money. I would say they have prepared for this quite nicely.
