That may not work in all areas. In California, there was a story about a person who went to the car dealer with a bag of cash he'd saved up over the years, being one of those non-bank-trusters, and the car dealer promptly called the police, who happily came and confiscated the cash as probable drug money. What was their evidence? Well, it's cash, and who uses that anymore except drug dealers?

Good old land of the free.
