About this case

The class action challenges alleged Transportation Security Administration practices of referring travelers carrying cash to law-enforcement agencies for potential civil forfeiture without defined or consistently applied standards. The matter received a federal court hearing in Pittsburgh in February 2026, and no decision had been announced, so the litigation is ongoing.
