You clearly don't know about the state of seizure laws in the US over the last years. Having cash is reason enough for them to seize it and they don't have to suspect you of a crime. They can simply find the cash as suspicious and take it and you have to prove the legality of your cash or property at your own cost/expense to get it back.
