> [@muldoonthief](#): > > It’s a shame that they have such mistrust for government officials that they’re forced to resort to such tactics just to avoid being robbed. I hope that if it’s really their money they aren’t punished for this. This man lost his company: [Former QiComm CEO cleared in money-laundering case • The Register](http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2013/06/14/money_laundering_case_dropped_against_qicomm_ceo/) And they were not even smuggling the cash, just carrying it across the border. ---

> [@Really\_Not\_All\_That\_Bright](#): > > Couldn’t she just have flown from Canada? It was probably a few hundred dollars cheaper leaving from Detroit. Airline prices are mostly set by competitive pressure rather than actual cost–this is why you see a lot of people flying from the big urban areas rather than the closer, smaller airports–because you can save hundreds of dollars by doing so.
