In any case, it sounds extra-ordinarily stupid to travel anywhere with $82k in a tupperware container. Regardless of how the TSA/DEA case goes, I'm just in awe that people in this day and age legitimately choose to bring around all their money they worked decades to acquire in one easy to access place... like a container. (Assuming the prerequisites of opening a bank account were not the issue).
Seriously, what are they actually thinking? Are they fearful of banks? Is it out of frugality? Even in a 1% interest account, $82k would make a good amount of interest to use for spending.
Hell, imagine if the wrong person happened to get a peek at stacks of cash in someone's backpack? People could get killed in an instant over that.
