[From article]
The exterior cargo container — the receptacle holding the smaller container that should have been holding the $1.2 million — showed no signs of being compromised, according to a source familiar with the investigation.
[. . .]
The weight of $1 million in $100 bills, for example, is estimated at 22 pounds, according to the US Treasury.
The largest cash heist in JFK Airport history occurred on Dec. 11, 1978, when an estimated $5 million was swiped at the Lufthansa Airlines terminal.
[. . .]
Airlines regularly transport large sums of US cash under “enhanced” security protocols, such as when fulfilling large banking transfers or when vast amounts of American currency are being permanently taken out of circulation prior to destruction.
Those sums can total up to $1 billion or more on a single flight, said a source with direct knowledge of such shipments.
