"When Baker asked how much he thought his alleged tokens were worth, the agent responded, “It fluctuates all the time.” Either a surprisingly well informed (and a tad snarky) TSA officer (who inexplicably dwells on the possibility of vanishingly rare physical Bitcoin), or a tounge-in-cheek satire presented as fact. I suspect the latter, unless the supposed victim can produce any non-anecdotal evidence to corroborate the story. Edit: It seems strange to me that TSA would be making such a big deal about searching for Bitcoin, when as far as I'm aware, limitations on transfer of cash only apply to international flights, and would be handled by actual law enforcement or Customs, not TSA. And other than the author being a bit of a dick in his supposed TSA interaction, I really don't see how this situation would have been plausible.
