I've boarded planes that were leaving the US and Customs was at the gate with a K9, one time was departing for Amsterdam, and the boarding was going slow AF. I asked the LEO about the dog, mentioning that we are going TO Amsterdam, no arriving from Amsterdam... He said the dog smelled money, they were looking for people taking large amounts of cash out of the US. I dunno how the dog can tell if you have over $9,999 on you, but okay pup.

It’s time for flight attendants to be taken off of the KCM program. In my experience I get popped for a random security check more often than I am able to get cleared through the KCM checkpoint. It’s all because of these flight attendants smuggling drugs and what not. How many flight attendants affiliated with criminal enterprises are actually employed by the airlines? What better way to transport drugs across the country.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is it illegal to take money out of the US? Or a certain amount? Same as a bank, anything $10k and over is suspect. I mean, you can legally do it, but you are going to be detained, you better have proof the money is legal, they may seize it. Shit, there are people who have had large amounts of cash seized when flying domestically. To "them", why didn't the person just wire the money!?! Well, because they must be doing something illegal... Same as the people who get "asset forfeiture" because they get pulled over with $23k in cash when they are driving to another State to buy a used vehicle. Pretty sure Regan did this, war on drugs and what not. Though, it may have been Carter. I recall news stories and even my Grandfather (who worked at a bank) in Miami talking about people showing up to deposit millions in cash at a bank. |

I was going through KCM with a group of FAs and one of them started walking towards the Pre-check lane. The other FAs started trying to guide her back towards the KCM lane when she had to tell them she didn’t have KCM access anymore. Was curious how she managed to fuck that up

Seems silly to me that you'd have a crew returning to the airport and then get divided at security. Doesn't it make more sense to process security together? I.e., through the KCA checkpoint? Depart together -> hotel together -> back to airport together -> now lets break up and meet up on the other side? Admittedly, I've never gone through a KCA checkpoint nor been a part of the program. I walk my happy ass through the door of whatever FBO we happen to be parked at and onto the jet. Only time I have to deal with TSA or security is when flying as a passenger. |

If you are actually at the trafficking end of it smuggling shit between countries you make all your street level dealers pay you in 100s. They can figure it out. Could probably go the oversize gold chain route, not have to declare it though customs and put it right through the xray machine. Would be a little bit of a cost involved with that but pretty low risk. Wear the real deal there and a plated job on the way back |

In Amsterdam, all crew members go trough a separate screening that is out of view of passengers. They check your ID and they test you for explosives. It is very efficient and professional. They don't wast time and money on things that don't matter. The part of KCM that makes sense is that they are performing an actual identity check. Your crew ID comes up on the computer and is crossed checked with multiple ID cards. They know exactly who you are. Unfortunately, a few bad apples always ruin it for everyone else. I can only imagine the amount of money that has been wasted since 911 screening the least dangerous people in America. |

A lot of countries use $10,000 as the limit for undeclared cash. I was watching a show about border security in Australia and someone got jammed up because they had $10k US and it was worth more than 10k Australian.
A few years ago we were going thru security in CA and the pilot for our flight was on the precheck security line ahead of us. He said that TSA always gives him an extra hard time. |

I always wondered why it's so hard to move cash. I guess gold or bitcoin wasn't an option. Realistically the easiest would be by boat. It's 850 miles or so from Key West. Just have one of their boats meet 1/2 way. Lots of go fast boats have 500 mile range and could make it in a less than 24 hours.

From the moment one is minted it's traceable on the blockchain. Literally everything is public. Every transaction that has ever occurred on the network is publicly viewable at all times. Unlike traditional finance, past transactions can't be edited. They're immutable. Sure, they could make or buy an NFT and sell it for a small fortune, BUT there's still the record of where those funds came from and where they ended up. EVERYTHING is public. They could have transferred all this near instantly on a crypto network, however to get it into the system they'd have to pass through an exchange, which would require KYC, same as a bank. Finding someone to do an OTC deal without KYC is incredibly unlikely for that amount and frequency. NFT's were no different than modern art, in this way. Even laundering through physical art, you still have to exchange the money from buyer to seller. NFT's were just a whole lot easier. You didn't need an art appraiser that was willing to play ball. You could literally take a picture from the internet, and sell it to a "random buyer" for as much money as you wanted. (i.e once the cocaine is delivered, you can't wire $100k to a drug dealer for cocaine, but you can purchase a picture of a monkey from an artist with a username for $100k.) |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Is it illegal to take money out of the US? Or a certain amount? Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I've boarded planes that were leaving the US and Customs was at the gate with a K9, one time was departing for Amsterdam, and the boarding was going slow AF. I asked the LEO about the dog, mentioning that we are going TO Amsterdam, no arriving from Amsterdam... He said the dog smelled money, they were looking for people taking large amounts of cash out of the US. I dunno how the dog can tell if you have over $9,999 on you, but okay pup. Is it illegal to take money out of the US? Or a certain amount? I want a cash sniffing dog to go work outbound truck stops close to the border. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I always wondered why it's so hard to move cash. I guess gold or bitcoin wasn't an option. Realistically the easiest would be by boat. It's 850 miles or so from Key West. Just have one of their boats meet 1/2 way. Lots of go fast boats have 500 mile range and could make it in a less than 24 hours. Or just FedEx it overnight. |
