Well, in the past the courts have said that taking the full amount constituted an excessive fine.

Held: Full forfeiture of respondent’s $357,144 would violate the Excessive Fines Clause. Pp. 5—21.

Of course, if he had declared that he was carrying $59,000 across the border, customs could have become suspicious and seized the money anyway.

a bunch of crap on both sides, the gov. for taking everything, but the guys too for not at least trying to find out anything while carring 59K in cash.
