Russia had border checks through the country. The USA never has. This single recording proves that each state now has a border and we are NOT free to travel as free Americans within our own country.
Call it Bushism, Obamaism, facsism... I don't care who voted for what or why. This is bullshit.

This pretty much sums up all the posts below here, so I'll just respond to this one.
You can travel anywhere you want with as much cash as you want, that's not the issue here. There are no checkpoints at state borders.
Air travel is a privilege, not a right.
You have a constitutional right to bear arms, but not on an airplane.
You have a constitutional right to free speech, but use the word bomb in an airport or on an airplane and see what happens.
If you choose to travel on a plane then you voluntarily give up your 4th amendment rights and allow them to search your bags, your person, etc.
This really has nothing to do with Obama or with the TSA for that matter. (There was still airport security and x-ray machines for baggage before 9/11)
This is really about the DEA making it hard for drug dealers and those in their employ to move large amounts of cash around. Unless you're a drug dealer, or work for one, I don't see why you would be against that.
Also, this guy was intentionally a smart ass, and you have no way of knowing what happened before he turned the recorder on, what he did or didn't do to draw attention to himself.
You can take his word for it, but the fact that it's a guy working for a "liberty campaign", goes into an airport with a shitload of cash, and then mouths off to the TSA officers...it's a pretty safe bet that this whole thing was staged from his end anyways.
