Actually a stack of 10K is not much thicker than a check book. Approx 3/8" to1/2" if in 100s[/QUOTE]
I was at Heathrow Airport in London when a very well dressed, polite English gentleman approached me and asked if I was in the habit of traveling with large sums of cash. I in turn politely requested he go perform an unatural act upon himself. He responded by saying "then you don't mind if we search you". Out of nowhere two not so polite English gentleman shoved me against the wall and proceeded to find out for themselves. Only finding a few hundred quid they apologized, thanked me and went on their way. Apparently Brits don't need metal dectectors to catch cash smugglers.
