Per SOP we are tasked with searching for WEIs, but SOP does state that upon finding other contraband...

There is a difference in discovering and looking for. One is legal for the TSA the other is not.

Large amounts of cash mean drugs, right, because since drug dealers accumulate...

Welcome to Flyertalk. Your account is difficult to understand or believe. Are you saying that during the few seconds in which your shoes passed through the x-ray scanner, their soles mysteriously disintegrated?

They can spot out liquids in a heart beat but I'm not sure about a gun or explosives as told about in reports.
BTW this isn't DL specific and should be in the security forum.

I believe this is a TSA ploy to stop people from using their rights.
I have had similar issues with liquid medicines and TSA and I firmly believe they do it so others do not try to do what you do. If TSA can yell it will cow others into the behavior pattern that the TSA wants!

It looks as if her bin did not go through x-ray at all as one of the smurfs was carrying it to her while another bin was coming out of the x-ray.

If traveling domestically, it doesn't have to be declared. There's a court case pending now challenging TSA's "authority" to count money and attempt to enforce customs law.
Now if you have a big wad of bills bulging in your pockets, it may get you patdown. It'd be an alarm that'd have to be resolved. That said, they should leave...
