I have several CCs that I can use overseas without issue and if they happen to be stolen/whatever I’m not liable for charges. I can also just spin up a new card which can then be used on my phone.

I carry my money in my hand going through the scanner. I'm not putting my cash anywhere.
Especially when it's a few thousand.

I use credit? I have had $600 on me maybe 3 days in the past 5 years.

TSA wants you to empty your pockets so you don't set off the metal detector. If you have cash you can keep that in your pocket...

Did you look shifty?

I think the detectors pick up the bands in bills but you need so many

Seems between 5K and 10K in 100's does it but fewer bands and all is good

Why in the hell would you ever put your wallet in a checked bag?

They are employees of government..the biggest theft operation in human history. It's only natural for them to steal more.

If you have large sums of cash maybe keep an eye on it?


I had this fear traveling to Vegas.

I brought no cash with me. I paid 9.99 to use an ATM. My fear was winning some money and flying back with it. After the 9.99 ATM fee, I found out that Chase has branches in the Vegas area, so I drove to branch and got more money there since I have an account with them. If I won anything, I was going to deposit it at Chase branch before flying back.

Luckily for me, I didn’t win anything and didn’t need to deposit cash there to fly back.

I even hit up the slots at the airport while waiting on my flight.

The full body scanner things allow you to hold your wallet in your hand. Just empty your pockets. At least in my experience.

Not sure how much that would help. They're literally taking things out of the carry ones

If I was worth a billion dollars, someone stealing $600 from me would still piss me off.

Carry your wallet in your damn pocket. Watch it go in the X-ray machine and be on the other end when it comes out
