Lastly. H.R. 6031. under carefully defined circumstances. permits customs agents to conduct warrantless searches of persons or conveyances entering or departing the United States when the agent has reasonable cause to believe that a monetary instrument is being transported without a requisite report being filed pursuant to the Bank Secrecy Act. This section has clear precedent in the longstanding authority of the Customs Service to conduct warrantless searches at border crossings. as well as in existing statutory authority of the Customs Service (19 USC 1581) to conduct warrantless searches of conveyances and persons in enforcement of the Tariff Act of Mr. Speaker. I urge my colleagues to support H.R. 6031.
