Cash has become this dirty thing everyone hates in the last decade. Any purchase over a hundred bucks or so a store clerk or normal person seems to have this awkwardness about them in accepting it. It's not uncommon to see people pay for a candy bar with a credit card. I think there was at some point a feeling that it was safer, but with the sheer number of card theft rings via POS systems, shady small merchants, etc., I've taken to trying to always have about 100 USD on me at all times. Also, the article's assertion that cash = terrorism did not surprise me at all. Why is it anything done outside of the all seeing eye must automatically be associated with terrorism?
