At some point, if you're trying to move a lot of money, it's cheaper to buy tickets for multiple people and split the amount of cash they can carry to some fraction of the maximum amount allowed out by law and then combine on the receiving end. If you're a powerful enough person (or dangerous enough) you can probably compel them to cooperate either based on compensation or intimidation.
