> And yes, that website says they can search with probable cause, and it doesn't say that being suspected of having cash doesn't count.

“probable cause” is of a crime; possession of cash is not a crime.

First off, I don't know that for sure. (Do you know that for sure? Have you read every law and every binding precedent in your jurisdiction?)

Second, I'm not saying that possession of cash is a crime, I'm saying it might be probable cause of some other crime, such as dealing drugs or whatever.
