It should be eliminated immediately to prevent further waste of taxpayers’ dollars and abuses of travelers’ constitutional rights. One should ask themselves, “Where is this money come from because USA is already in debt”. Even though, many may believe the benefits will outweigh the costs, keep in thought that this will put citizens in danger and who wants to see people suffer? Why should the government even be taking the chance to fund people who are most likely criminals? Besides, there is no way to know if the program is even effective, since the DEA only keeps track of situations in which a search leads to an arrest or a seizure, and even then only limited information according to Los Angeles Daily News. While ostensibly seeking illegal drugs, which are a relatively rare find, or, more commonly, the proceeds of drug transactions, such searches also result in seizures of cash from innocent people, not to mention the harassment of countless other passengers who are not carrying drugs or large sums of cash as stated by to the Orange County Register. Moreover, usually, agents seize large sums of cash from travelers and then send them on

Fast forward 3 months and the Tuscaloosa P.D and West Alabama Narcotics Task Force were touting their largest bust ever. Many people in the community and at the University felt that the bust was just an effort to clean up their corrupt image and rake in more money in form of federal funding.

    Ever tossed a penny aside and never gave a second thought about its worth? What many Americans fail to realize is the price they pay for each discarded, unwanted penny. I believe that the penny should be eliminated from American currency because they cost too much, waste valuable work time, and have been erased in other countries with no terrible consequences. The penny is surely not worth the trouble it causes and the burdens we have to endure by keeping them. Pennies are worth one cent, but producing pennies can cost even more than double that price.…

    Although the singles leading up to Disclosure’s new album Caracal have all been danceable enough, there admittedly hasn’t been a standout yet. “Bang That” was a little single-minded; “Holding On” catchy, yet derivative of Settle; “Omen” felt like a lifeless remake of “Latch”; finally, “Willing & Able” was interesting in its slow sultriness, but still lacked that punch. “Hourglass”, however, feels like it’s come out of nowhere - this song is a breath of warm, fresh air, the kind that permeates cities on the best nights and makes you want to do crazy things. The red-black scheme works well for the track’s video and art, for this is a deep house cut.…
