Very interesting. So I can walk safetly in the street with a million dollar necklace, but not with $1000 in cash?

As safe as you can be with a million dollar necklace around your neck... But you're safe from legal civil forfeiture. Abusive forfeiture is a whole other matter entirely and (IANAL) I'm willing to bet the ones committing the abuse will get the presumption of innocence and you will have to prove the abuse.

It's an easy way of declaring ones badassness.

Looking at Mr T, people had to ask themselves, "What kind of person feels confident enough to walk around with that much money on his neck?"

not necessarily; If the police recently busted a <gun ring/drug deal/insert generic illegal activity> paying for goods with that same style necklace(or any mental gymnastics to link the item type to a crime) then they could seize it as surely it is part of illegal activity.
