Glad to see they've stopped the hunt for free money as there was no
justification for what they were doing. For those that missed the
earlier reports DEA agents were stopping people in the airport and
searching their bags under the suspicion of drugs being in the bags.
What they ended up doing was finding people who were traveling with
large sums of money and confiscating that money.
 
To make this TV related the local news station was doing a report on
that program that led to the DOJ suspending the program as shown in

You had me going! For a minute there, I thought you were announcing the
end of TSA, the people that frisk you at the airport in case you are
carrying a bomb or weapon to seize a plane for terroristic activities.

Nope, that's likely never going away. This was an additional check on
people after they passed TSA's checks and were either boarded or ready
to board. All in the search for free money, yours that becomes theirs.
