Here's the full audio from Steve's encounter with overzealous and underpaid TSA workers:
Mr. Bierfeldt was traveling from a regional meeting of a conservative political organization know to advocate sound money, small government, civil liberties and belief in The United States Constitution when he was detained and interrogated by Transportation Security Administration officials for having cash in his possession. TSA agents claim having a large sum of money which could be any amount over $50.00 is cause to be detained and interrogated. When Mr. Bierfeldt asks if the interrogation over having cash is lawful he was threatened with further detainment and investigation by DEA and FBI. TSA continues to threaten and detain Mr. Bierfeldt even after discovering the cash in his possession are funds belonging to Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty.

This is without a doubt one of the most ridiculous publicity stunts I've ever seen. Steve was wrong. I've known the guy personally, and his actions here certainly fit in with his arrogant nature.

The link appears to be broken. It says "error establishing database connection". I assume the Feds must have already raided the websites headquarters and confiscated all their servers. Damn King George, you are fast.

He must be a terrorist, because carrying cash is a crime? Is it fun assuming citizens are guilty until proven innocent? Ironic, harassing a Campaign for Liberty person. He is representing the USA grass roots that promote our constitutional rights. We put security there to protect USA, not harass citizens. Campaign For Liberty is a true cause
