| 2019-11-26 | |
The Indian security officials have said the CISF personnel arrested Bakhtyari Waheedullah from Inhira Gandhi International Airport at 5:30 am local time on Saturday, according to local media reports. The officials further added that the man was about to board a SpiceJet flight to Kabul when CISF personnel intercepted him and confiscated $14,000 which he was in his possession in an ’unauthorized’ manner. The CISF personnel handed over the man to Customs officials after he failed to produce any document for carrying the relatively large amount of foreign currency, the officials added. | |

| #5 p2k has got it right, I think it may be called civil forfeiture if you are carrying large amounts of cash. Usually don't get it back either. kinda like imminent domain laws. |

| #4 Police and federal agents do that here as well. Police say its drug money and you have to sue to get it back. Same at airports with the federal agents. |

| #3 Ahh I thought it was something like he used a money clip when he should have used a wallet or something like that. Maybe briefcase vs backpack? |

| #2 One has to declare how much they're taking if it's above $10k. A few hundred over won't matter, but on checking if they find bills and coins secreted away, they'll just follow protocol and seize all of it. Considering he was afghan, they were playing safe. |
