<p>[QUOTE=&quot;900fine, post: 514693, member: 6036&quot;]Sounds like the individual was a Turkish citizen seeking to move to the US.

It certainly seems like an act forced by Turkey more than the US.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Moreover, we need more detail on this Turkish thing before sounding any alarms about how we&#039;re all at risk.</p><p><br /></p><p>In any event, <b>I certainly can&#039;t take a case like this and get concerned about myself - a US citizen keeping coins within US borders.</b></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>And as for the worriers... I&#039;m not in your camp. I have never met anyone who had the Gestapo break down their door and steal their stuff. Sorry, guys... I&#039;m just not whining about &quot;the complete trashing of my civil rights&quot;. If you really feel you&#039;re at risk here, move someplace safe. Maybe Turkey. Or Germany.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Abraham Lincoln suspended the writ of Habeas Corpus during the Civil War. He felt it was necessary.
