2ND AIRPORT CASH SEIZURE RAISES MORE RACIAL-PROFILING QUESTIONS
Jacob A. King Jr. considers himself a law-abiding citizen. He follows the
rules. He respects authority.
So when drug agents seized $7,221 in cash from the Omaha businessman at
Eppley Airfield last year, alleging that the money was connected to drug
activity, King was confident that his cash would be returned immediately.
"I had done nothing wrong," said the 26-year-old King, who owns a mobile
carwash business with his future father-in-law.
