Craig–
Airports are “special,” thanks to all the terrorism and ‘money laundering’ laws we have at the Federal level. They can do literally whatever they want under the guise of drugs & terrorism. (and I mean anything.)
And most State & Local law enforcement conduct their own confiscation programs– it’s a profit center for them. In my town, the narc-unit gets almost 1/2 their budget from confiscating assets. They prefer to seize cash but they’ll seize anything you have and sell it later.

The problem is that local law enforcement is in on the take.

“Further, since the United States is a federal republic with governments at both the national and state level, there are civil forfeiture seizures at the state level which are not tracked and recorded in any central database,[10] which make it difficult to make assessments, since state laws and procedures vary widely. According to the Washington Post, federal asset forfeiture in 2014 accounted for over $5 billion going into Justice and Treasury Department coffers, while in comparison, official statistics show that the amount stolen from citizens by burglars during that same year was a mere $3.5 billion.[25]”

You think the Rurales are gonna give up the money train? In particular since the funds go the locals – and gets spent &diety knows how – the Chiefs new car, that “training trip” to Hawaii….

What’s keeping this man from filing a police report in the jurisdiction where this airport is located. It’s very clear a crime was committed. We need our sheriffs to start flexing their jurisdictional muscle and push back on this federal overreach.
