I am flying from Cincinnati to Cameroon and was not able to depart Atlanta because I took the wrong COVID test. The test must be a pcr test. I met a number of people who were retesting because the 72 hours post test would expire before their destination.

I believe all of the airlines require the PCR test, and I think their websites state that. Also, different countries have different time limits on tests for entry. In March we saw several people denied entry to the terminal (Harare) or at the check in counter. Also, 3 denied at the boarding gate for expired test results (Joburg with SAairlink).

I forget the government agency but they were asking random people how much they had in currency. Of course they counted my money and searched my carryon. The officers were polite. They questioned me why I had so much cash and how I was going to spend it.

I’m pretty sure it would have been CBP, they were on the walkway to our plane at DFW when we left for Zim, didn’t quiz me or my wife but had their dog run around us a time or two. They did remove 9 passengers from our flight, causing a delay of over an hour while their luggage was removed.

How stupid!

YOUR money and you can spend it as you wish!

Concentrating on law abiding citizens, and completely ignoring crime??
