Money seizures: no conviction or proof necessary

"A federal appeals court ruled yesterday that if a motorist is carrying large sums of money, it is automatically subject to confiscation." (Another article here.)
Where "large sums of money" is $124,700.
Sure, carrying around that much money is suspicious, but it should take more than suspicion to allow government agents to take your money. But those activist judges on the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (the majority of whom were appointed by our current president according to a law.com article) disagree.
