TSA Agents Tracked $136 Million Being Taken Out of the Country Through Ohio Airports
Plus: Iran Directly Threatens to Assassinate Trump
From Minnesota to Ohio to Amsterdam to Dubai.
Somali Suitcase Stash: Feds say $130 million moved from Ohio airport to Minnesota on way overseas Officials told Just the News that Transportation Security Administration agents tracked and flagged about $136 million in bulk cash in outbound luggage at the passenger checkpoints at John Glenn Columbus International Airport since November 2023. This follows reports that millions of dollars were discovered leaving Minnesota airports.Unrelated: Iran state TV to Trump: "This time, the bullet won't miss."
By John Solomon Published: January 13, 2026 11:00pm Federal agents investigating a Somali immigrant operation that moved massive amounts of cash in suitcases from the Minneapolis airport to overseas have uncovered a new leg of the courier journey: the Columbus, Ohio airport. Homeland Security Department officials told Just the News that Transportation Security Administration officers tracked and flagged about $136 million in bulk cash in outbound luggage at the passenger checkpoints at John Glenn Columbus International Airport since November 2023. The cash movements were made by U.S. citizens of Somali origin who flew out of the Columbus airport en route to either the airports in Minneapolis or Atlanta, and the couriers always declared the cash as legally required on documents, officials said. "Typically, when they go to Minneapolis, they drop off the cash and then a subsequent courier travels abroad from Minneapolis to Dubai through Amsterdam," one official familiar with the investigation told Just the News on Tuesday, speaking only on condition of anonymity. The officials said they appear to have uncovered a massive cash movement operation that gathered money from multiple Somali immigrant communities in the West, Midwest and South that eventually brought luggage filled with currency to Minneapolis for flights overseas. Just the News reported exclusively last week that TSA detected nearly $700 million in cash in luggage leaving the Minneapolis airport in 2024 and 2025, frequently headed on a route to Amsterdam and then Dubai where U.S. officials lost the tracking. The TSA agents routinely alerted investigators during the Biden years, but there was little interest in probing the money movements further until President Donald Trump took office last year.
Iran issued a sickening threat against President Trump Wednesday, broadcasting a picture of the commander in chief during the 2024 Butler rally assassination attempt -- with the words "This time it will not miss the target." The ominous warning was aired on Iranian state-run TV, Agence France Presse (AFP) reported. It marks Tehran's most direct threat yet against Trump, following his repeated threats that the US will strike the country if it continues its brutal crackdown on anti-government protesters. Iran appeared to step up threats against Trump by broadcasting a photo of him during the Butler assassination attempt. The image of a bloodied-Trump appeared to be taken from a pro-government rally in Iran, which has been allowed to air despite nationwide blackouts over the protests against the regime. Trump was infamously the target of an assassination attempt during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, when he was shot in the ear by gunman Thomas Crooks.

IS this the same Government that uses Civilian Asset Forfeiture laws to steal money from Americans?
Seems like MILLIONS of dollars 'tracked' would have fallen under those same laws, yet the cash was not seized?
I'm calling bullshit on this one. Someone high up was letting this money through.

That article is confusingly written. I'm still not sure what Ohio had to do with any of it.
I assume the money went from MN to OH (although I'm not sure why) en route to an international flight. But the article says the flights went from Ohio to Minneapolis and then to Amsterdam/Dubai.
None of this makes any sense to me. I would think if you're laundering money, you take as few flights as possible. If you have the money in Ohio, and you want to take it out of the country, you don't fly into the interior of the country (MN) and then get an international flight back out.

Sure, I've been leery of the Mullahs intentions towards the US for decades, not to mention their brutal crushing of dissent. But if this latest revolution succeeds, it might benefit Israel and the K-Street lobbyists and the Israel lobby in Congress. We can't let that happen. The Mullahs are right to threaten Trump in this case.

Not meaning to hijack the thread or anything, but wanted to provide an update:
First Lady lost her father on Sunday. We found out Monday when he wasn't answering his cell phone and did not call back. He lives 3 hrs. away from us, so we reached out to some friends and they did a wellness check.
We drove out Monday night and spent the last two days finalizing arrangements, writing the obit and eulogy and getting people notified. The services will be on Saturday and that's likely where she'll get hit the hardest.
He wasn't a good father, was incredibly selfish and lived mostly for one person and one person only. But she is strong in her faith and took 'honor thy mother, honor thy father' seriously and did what she felt was best. There are no regrets.
We're at home now, heading back Friday as there's some things here she wants to find before everything is finalized.
You all have been so wonderful to us over the last year plus, so I just wanted to pop in, give an update and thank you all for the thoughts and prayers you've been providing us for a long time.
God Bless you and we are eternally grateful for everything.

As someone who has traveled internationally frequently I'd like to know how they got away with this. There is a hard $10,000 limit to the amount of cash you can take out of the US without filling out a lot of financial reporting forms with the feds and yet the TSA found hundred of millions being taken out and did nothing?
This is more than just fraud. The senior levels of our government wanted that cash to go to Somalia.

They're not laundering anything. They're just expatriating it. You can fly with a briefcase full of hundos, it's not illegal at all as long as you declare it.

Okay, Trump, is that transactional enough for you? Go get 'em.
I'm hoping that this means that Iran believes the die is now cast and Trump has ordered a decapitation strike against the regime.

If you don't have co-conspirators running US customs in the Ohio airports, you take a domestic connecting flight to where the Somalis run the show. I'd be willing to bet that they declared a LOT less moving out of the country than was actually packed in those suitcases.

He said leave it and we’ll mail it back to you. I said you can do that? He grinned and said, “ if we want to”. Put name and address on a little bag, and a couple weeks later got it back.

PDT will probably have some silly signing ceremony, make a few jokes and retire for the afternoon, heading to the residence. And then scoot down the back stairs for final planning before the midnight strikes. Hey, he's signing the healthy kids act right now.

We are in desperate need of an opposition party. I'm not going to put this all on Trump. The guy will only be able to do so much. Reading shit like this and watching the a-hole left out in the streets.........
I can't say what I want to say without getting banned. I don't want violence in our streets n civil war. I have kids, I don't want them to live through that and experience horror. However the left is bound and determined to do just that AND they want my kids, who were finally old enough to vote in 24' dead.
As a father and I have a REALf'ing problem with it and am sick n f'ing tired of the lefts BS. I've lived a blessed life, I have cool toys and have done some cool thing I can be proud of. I've lived my life. If I croak right now at least I had a good run.
Any human decency, civility or whatever you want to call it in my case towards the left is gone. It was shot in the neck last September. I'm still horrified by it. Rob Reiner dead could care less, good riddance to evil. This loopy broad in Minneapolis, good riddance to evil.
I want to see these people suffer immensely and if I could do anything to help facilitate that I absolutely would.
Thanks for letting me vent.

Sorry about your loss, Sponge.
I was on one of the first flights out of Logan after 9/11 and you can imagine what a goat rodeo that was since it was the site where the WTC took off from. They had no idea what they were doing at the point so they were taking everything.
They had those big, grey, plastic garbage cans by every TSA station and they were just filling them up with nail clipper, books of matches, tweezers, disposable lighter... you name it, it was going in the bucket.
But a bunch of lightbulb heads carrying hundreds of million of dollar, on your way Ahmed.

I assume the money went from MN to OH (although I'm not sure why) en route to an international flight. But the article says the flights went from Ohio to Minneapolis and then to Amsterdam/Dubai.
The same shit was going on in Ohio with their Somalis. I doubt Columbus has international connecting flights but MSP does.

This is why I think the republic has to take drastic action to destroy government corruption on a large scale. The GOP and Dems are literally selling themselves to foreign interests and no government can survive that long term.
Proscription is about the remaining remedy and that probably means the end of the republic. Trump is not probably the guy to do that in all honesty. He is a counterpuncher.
Whoever would order a proscription type order has to be someone as tough as Sulla, Cromwell, Pinochet, Franco, or Caesar.

They're expatriating laundered/fraudulent money. No, it's not illegal to carry or fly with cash, but it rightfully raises red flags. That's why you have to declare it, so they know about it and can investigate if necessary.
Regardless, if you are moving around with dirty money and don't want to raise questions, you would take as few flights as possible. Based on this article's reporting, it seems these scumbags were doing the opposite.
Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade at January 14, 2026 03:06 PM (iFTx/)

Yeah it was obtained fraudulently but it's not "dirty money" like proceeds from drug dealing or prostitution. They got it through "legal" channels directly from the Fed and State governments, because they're a protected and coddled class. There's nothing to launder because as long as the democrats are in charge nobody's going to investigate, and they damn well know it.

None of this makes any sense to me. I would think if you're laundering money, you take as few flights as possible. If you have the money in Ohio, and you want to take it out of the country, you don't fly into the interior of the country (MN) and then get an international flight back out.

And Columbus's Airport is NOT an international airport. There are NO international flights out of there. There used to be flights to Canada, but now you have to go through Phillie, Detroit or Chicago. There are international flights out of Minneapolis-St. Paul airport. I think KLM flies out of there.

It's close; there's a problem that few on our side are thinking about, but we do need an actual Casus Belli to launch an offensive strike against Iran. Meaning they have to *do* something to us, to justify it. Before, sayin that they were just about to enrich enough Uranium to create a bomb was enough to justify an attack. But killing their own people is not quite enough; we've got to provoke them into *doing* something really stupid.

>>The cash movements were made by U.S. citizens of Somali origin who flew out of the Columbus airport en route to either the airports in Minneapolis or Atlanta, and the couriers always declared the cash as legally required on documents, officials said.
And somehow that didn't set off any alarm bells.
Again, this is more than some skinny's committing fraud. This was our federal government helping give Somalia hundreds of millions of US tax dollars.

They knew exactly where the money was going and what it was going for, and it wasn't going to some goatfuckers in Africa, other than maybe minus somebodies cut. The entire Democrat apparatus needs pulled up, root and branch, and the earth salted. Criminals, from top to bottom.

First and only time to Vegas I had just gotten my CPAP machine. TSA was all over it and freaking out. Of course, this was right before the year anniversary of 9-11 so security was all wacked out of their minds looking for crazy shit. i hate TSA and flying so I just drive if I can.

My TSA story: After a 9-hour (!) delay, when we finally went through, I forgot, for the first time ever in my life, to take my belt off.
The mouthbreathing DEI hire TSA asshole sent me to secondary so they could fondle my junk and everything else, at great length. Barely made the flight.
After a 9-hour delay. Fuck the TSA hard with a pineapple, sideways.

I doubt they're steel. Mine definitely aren't. We knitters can fly with needles because they're blunt-ended. At least, that's what the TSA used to say.

"Typically, when they go to Minneapolis, they drop off the cash and then a subsequent courier travels abroad from Minneapolis to Dubai through Amsterdam," one official familiar with the investigation told Just the News on Tuesday, speaking only on condition of anonymity.
_________________________
You might not be aware of this, but the Antwerp to Dubai route is the predominate process to transport stolen vehicles (mostly from Canada). When the stolen vehicles get to Antwerp they either go the Middle East route, or the African route.
This has been documented a number of times by people who have multiple vehicles stolen in Canada. They used hidden Apple Air Tags...and were even able to locate their vehicles on used car lots in the UAE.

When I flew to Canada last year, I made sure that the ticket agent knew I had a medical device as a carry-on item (CPAP). They tagged it and with the tag on the case, it doesn't count for the two-item carry-on limit (check first). No problems through the TSA inspection, either. Same thing flying back through Vancouver.

I flew once with two metal cigar tubes in a leather sleeve. When they ran it through the luggage detector, it looked exactly like two pipe bombs strapped together. (Of course, I didn't realize that when I brought them.) The TSA guy showed me the image and said "hey, what's this?" I explained what it was. The guy was like "good enough for me." Never opened the luggage or made any effort to determine if I was telling the truth.

In China, they are REALLY ROUGH!.. They grab you ,grab your arms to stretch out, and wand you with a metal detector. Then push you along. They aren't worried about the language barrier or "Being nice".

That's not how this works.
If YOU get on a plane with a briefcase full of cash, past a certain value (10k, if I recall) YOU will get grilled and paperwork gets filled out. Doesn't matter if you pre-declare it, YOU will have a long talk with them. If it's over - based on what I've seen - 35k or so, YOU will almost certainly have it seized, and YOU will not get it back.
I am capitalizing YOU because someone instructed the TSA to look the other way entirely as these shitheads moved stolen money around.
A smattering of agencies won't participate, but generally speaking you get over ~35K and there is nowhere in the US you can safely transport cash as a regular individual.

After all this, i honestly want to know 1. Why am i paying taxes? What am i paying for except for a bunch of people sending money to t*rrorist organizations? 2. TSA seems to be just a harassment engine for the little people. They're letting people run money to overseas t*rror orgs so obviously they don't care about stopping sh*t. So might as well go back to the old way.

I flew once with two metal cigar tubes in a leather sleeve. When they ran it through the luggage detector, it looked exactly like two pipe bombs strapped together. (Of course, I didn't realize that when I brought them.) The TSA guy showed me the image and said "hey, what's this?" I explained what it was. The guy was like "good enough for me." Never opened the luggage or made any effort to determine if I was telling the truth.

I try not to check a bag and my carry on bag has a little pocket and I have gotten water through more times than I can count and the first time I told them and then they used those little wipes and tested me for what I assumed was a bomb so I won't tell them if I get something through after that.

None of this makes any sense to me. I would think if you're laundering money, you take as few flights as possible. If you have the money in Ohio, and you want to take it out of the country, you don't fly into the interior of the country (MN) and then get an international flight back out.
Posted by: Judge Elric The Blade
From Ohio you'd drive to Detroit which has shitloads of flights direct to the ME (really, the planes are loaded with shit).
Unless that is too obvious.

The Breonna Taylor case was an odd one - she was one of the women of a local drug kingpin - he even stashed a body in her car once.
So when the cops found out she had a man at her house they figured they finally had their perp.
But the man that was there was not the drug lord but some other guy. However he responded to the police coming in by shooting at them and they returned fire.
And the Junta charged one of the cops, who remember did not shoot first, Hankison, with killing Taylor...
While he wounded a cop he and they lived, but Breeona died in the crossfire.

Only Mossad has shown repeated ability to penetrate even the most secure Iranian assets like their nuke plans or HamAss top leaders. That requires ground human intel assets.
Same reason all of Europe with kings ganged up on Revolutionary France, it threatened their own internal stability.

Flew out of Philly after visiting mom. She insisted on sending me home with a couple boxes of store-bought chocolate chip cookies to bring to my son. (Mom was a fine home baker in her day. That day might have passed, but by God, her grandson was getting cookies from her).
Anyway, said cookies were sealed in a clear plastic clamshell tray. You've probably seen the kind. I put them at the bottom of my checked bag, as they wouldn't fit in my computer bag carry on.
Upon opening my bags at home, I was greeted with a small note advising me that my checked bag was selected for a "random" search, so items may appear disorganized.
The seal of the cookie container was broken. It appeared that the cookies were dumped out over my clothes, then placed back in the container. They made no effort to snap the container shut. Crumbs everywhere. Happened a second time (no cookies, but same friendly note). Avoided Philly airport for many a year after that...

From 1966-91 Denmark apparently sterilized girls as young as 12 without their knowledge as a population control program in Greenland. I'd say all we really have to do is promise we won't do that and we're in.
I think you're forgetting that we don't yet know who or what a female really is and what they can do. For example, it has only recently been discovered that men can get pregnant, according to the latest research by doctors and scientists. I just don't know if we'll ever be able to resolve this conundrum.

It would take an order from the CIA to the regional managers of TSA at the very least. Might have been put forward though by Biden junta types at the request of the agency.

Fincen is no joke as almost all activity, especially illegal, relies on money transfers. And most TSA line officers and managers are not going to avoid the regular procedures in place for cartels, etc. So they documented the bucks being sent but let them go as per higher ups in the agency. Those TSA higher ups got their marching orders from someone too. And those people had to have enough clout to make them ignore it. My bet is Mayorkas or his group of killer clowns.

I've got a bunch or rods and screws in my back. Never a blip in any country.

We used to fly a lot. I was on one of the first planes out of Orlando after 9/11. Unfazed and for months one of the few females on planes with business guys. We all had a look at each other if something happened, like one guy's phone going off (after a cell phone bomb scare) at 10k feet. Empty plane but I was part of the team if needed.
I honestly think they check people after a certain number to keep machines going or something tarded.
We flew through a small airport and, by golly, my panties appeared radioactive as I was shown the screen. A young black woman asked if I wanted to "go behind a screen." I said, no, have at it. She checked with the back of her wrists, no goosing.
I look for my husband and apparently he was radioactive as well! at the same time! Whee!
We have NO IDEA what that was about, as we certainly were wearing laundered clothing. My watch and silver bracelets I could sort of understand. But this was a new frontier for us. We both thought it was funny vs being offended.

>>> 280 Anyone else think it's a mighty big coincidence that the 2024 Democrat nominees for President and Vice President came from two of the most corrupt states in the country?

Praying for you and the First Lady, Sponge. It's going to be exhausting and complicated, no matter what.
Prayers for everyone here who is struggling, no matter how small or large the issues may seem. They are still something you have to resolve, and may you do so with God's help.
Iran...I can't even process what the people there are going through. May He give them strength to fight on.

I'm still wondering why all the US Attorney's in Minneapolis resigned. Their complaint seems far too petty for that to have been the reason.

I've wondered that myself. I suspect that they're a pack of Lefties and didn't want to prosecute the ICE-Watch commies.

Moonrise is pretty late, 3 hours before sunrise. New moon is the 18th. Don't know the military's moon preferences for this sort of thing.

Assistant AG Harmeet Dhillon just dropped the hammer on Tim Walz’s Minnesota.
DOJ lawsuit targets a state hiring scheme that uses race and sex in “all staffing decisions.”
Translation: discriminate first, justify later.

And did those feet in ancient times
Walk upon England's mountains green?
But these days, he'd better watch his mouth
Or they'd throw him in the clink.

So if one of us tried to move a suitcase full of cash through an airport, it would be seized--without question. But not if someone has brown privilege?
