“Docherty was boarding a flight to Costa Rica in November 2010 when a dog trained to sniff out money (they have those?) found Docherty’s stash of cash. There was $9,880 in U.S. currency and another $335 Canadian. Docherty explained he’d calculated the Canada-U.S. exchange rate so the total amount to come in under the $10,000 limit.  The trouble was that by the time he took his flight two days later, the U.S. dollar had strengthened, making his package worth more than $10,000 Canadian.  Agents seized the money under the legislation and unlike criminal charges, the onus falls on people like Docherty to prove the money was legitimately acquired.”
