4. First off, yes you can.

You just have to fill out a form. Customs form 4790. A damn piece of paper would have saved this man's 11 years worth of savings. But he didn't have the paper, so he loses everything. Nice and legal. bastards.

Beyond that, does it seems sensible in any way that when someone is asked how much cash they have and they answer honestly that it should be taken away from them? Could he not have been told to fill out the form? Or to not bring it all at once? Was taking it all away (note: all of it, not even leaving him with the 10,000 he could have taken) the right thing to do?
