Way too many chances for someone else's incomptence to fuck me over in a big way.

I bring cash as well, just never had any reason to go past 10k for a trip.
Paper trail, well thats a toughy. Even most stupid travelers checks leave a paper trail.
Interest to me never gets paid unless it has to. I am a end of the month zero balance type of person who likes using debit over credit.
I figure though you could always smuggle it in. Doubt they will search you everywhere and cash is ultra thin.
