That article seems very biased in its writing. Reading that I thought the whole thing was insane but I never trust one story as the truth. Jazz's posts sort of summed up what I thought was going on.
It seems that the money is most likely drug related. No one, even a Mexican (and there is implied racism here on the part of the article) is stupid enough to think you should travel with 120k in cash to buy a truck.
Now the question is do you have the right to carry around large sums you can not account for? Being mostly libertarian in viewpoint I'd say yes, but since no one really has money, we just get to barrow it from the government, they may as well set rules on what you can carry as well.
I don't like it, but as long as we have decided that we can take money from some people to give to other people a national policy, I can't see this being over turned.
