Ironically, from a fraud and national security perspective, the current customs form is not expansive enough to disclose the source of the cash these couriers are taking out of the country or the ultimate recipient of the cash. Later this week, I plan to introduce a bill to address this issue [of cash smuggling]. This bill, called the Stop Somali Currency Airport Smuggling through Hawala's Cash Fraud act or Stop Somali Cash Fraud act, will strengthen the customs form for non citizens only who are taking more than $10,000 in cash out of the country.
