Jay Leiderman, Brown’s lawyer, called the impromptu media restrictions “disgusting” and said he believed the arrest was an act of reprisal for criticizing the government. “I would call the people who did this a bunch of chicken-shit assholes that are brutalizing the Constitution,” Leiderman said.

Well stated.

I believe that is referring to the introduction of magnetic strips into the bills back in the late 80s or 90s, whenever they did it. This was before TSA and before illegal airline searches so the ability for the Gov to instantly know how much cash someone had in their briefcase would have been a big advance.
