Seizing cash found on travellers isn't just an air travel thing. Police do it to people they pull over for speeding also. If there's cash in the car they seize it and hold it, and short of a court order, which is usually not forthcoming, they never give it back. Ever. Doesn't matter if the owner of the cash is never charged with anything. It doesn't even matter if the cop doesn't write a ticket, or if the ticket is contested and the driver is found not to be at fault. There doesn't have to be any REAL probable cause. Seriously, the case law on this point is very clear. They WILL keep your money and there's nothing you can do.
I remember trying to rent season one of 24 shortly after season two started airing, and having to visit three stores to find episodes in stock. Even low qulaity, no extras releases of popular shows should rent very well, and maybe is a way for those of us without Tivo to time shift our viewing.

How about rentals?
