Steve Bierfeldt Detained at Airport for Carrying Cash

Ron Paul’s Campaign for Liberty Volunteer Steve Bierfeldt had the audacity to carry cash to the St Louis airport after a meeting with other liberty- minded Ron Paul Fans.

Steve Bierfeldt was carrying $4700 in cash, and was detained by the TSA and subjected to abusive language and threats. He refused to answer the TSA’s inquiries (“Where do you work?” “Why are you carrying cash?”). He calmly, repeatedly asked if he was required to by law to answer those questions. The TSA agents threatened to turn him over to the DEA insinuating that he must be a drug dealer. Look at the above picture. Does he look like a drug dealer?

He was returning from a Ron Paul event in St Louis, MO, and worked for the campaign. The cash on his person arose from sales of t-shirts and stickers at the event.
