Traveling with cash
Bored @ JFK.
Calling someone not smart without knowing the circumstances is stooopid. The judgmentality (tm gas) of your assertion doesn't merit an explanation of why I need to use cash vs an ATM.
As for my paranoia, I agree now that it was unfounded. TSA told me to empty my pocket because of the bulge and it was not an issue.
They need a gym at JFK. Or a massage parlor.

10 and less is legit.....
I have done 9.
If robbery is your concern , anything over 100 can be a target.
If the law is your concern, $10k is the stated limit

My concern isn't robbery, my concern is it being confiscated by TSA for thinking it's drug money. How long ago was it when you did 9,000 ?
When ever i travel I have one of those wallet looking things ( small) and one either goes around my neck, and or other when used is similar but is like gun holster positioned just under armpit under clothing . when I take it off ,I put in a zipped secure as possible and once through metal detector , i assume the position as close to the machine as convenient .So far so good the money and passport holder combination high up on the body ,gives u also less likely of it being pick pocketed.
Last year or so.... I do a few thousand regularly..
I don't declare it, b/c it's below the 10 level.
If that is your concern, just carry o copy of your bank statement to verify where the funds come form.
Proving the source is what the authorities want to see..... if they discover your 'stash'.
Not usually a problem..... I don't recall anybody posting here that they were questioned or harassed about carrying cash.
US Currency is .0043 inches thick that means that 100 bills is .43 inches thick.
A traveler must declare that they are carrying $10,000 US or more so $9,999 is the limit if that is your view.
There is actually no limit to the amount you are carrying as long as you report amounts of $10,000 US or more.
You can carry a trillion dollars as long as you can demonstrate where you got the money.
Cash in any currency and any thing freely negotiable counts $5000 cash and $6,000 in travelers check count and $11,000.
If you have $3,000 US cash and a check in someone?s or a company name for $15,000 means that you only have $3000 for purposes of the requirement to declare.
Entering Canada it is $10,000CA. The exchange rate used for foreign currency is the noon fixing by the Bank of Canada for yesterday. (On Monday the Friday NOON fixing used. If yesterday was a holiday then the previous fixing is used. In RD it is $10,000US
If you are trying to follow the rules, you have to understand the rules.
To answer the original question, I use a money belt.

The biggest problem with having "millions" of dollars in US banks, is that the US Government, and ALL it's agencies,KNOW you have it!!!
