Try to fly with over $10,000 (Not even a lot of money these days) in cash and see what happens.

Might change your opinion of it.

What opinion? You just demonstrated an example of subverting government authority, which is exactly what I said it can be useful for.

I didn't make any judgment about doing so.

How is carrying money around subverting government authority? You can carry 500K in your wallet on your bank card but if you carry 10K in cash it's somehow different?

Because traveling with more than 10,000 dollars without declaring it is illegal.
