If you are travelling to the USA for school - do not take cash, jewelry or family heirlooms as they could be taken by the police and never returned.
Drug Enforcement Administration task force officers at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport seized $11,000 in cash from 24-year-old college student Charles Clarke. They didn't find any guns, drugs or contraband on him.
Clarke's cash, which says he he spent five years saving up, was seized under civil asset forfeiture, where cops are able to take cash and property from people who are never convicted of and in some cases, never even charged with a crime.
If you are student arriving from a country labelled by the USA as a drug source then expect severe questioning and inspection with possible arrest or extradition.
USA is now considered as dangerous for students who are non-white visible minorities and have only beginner levels of English language.
The USA calls it "policing for profit" the rest of the world has a different term.
