I wonder if those large cash withdrawals I made last month will get flagged.

The 4th Amendment has been little more than worthless words on an old forgotten piece of parchment for a very, very long time.

Nothing new here.

It's the sequester... Can't afford to protect Americans anymore with all the other government programs we have that need to spy on us.

Our financial records have been accessible for years. How many times have you gone to buy something on credit and they run a credit report on you? I've been told who I've owed Money to, how much and if there were any late payments. I've also been told what I currently make payments on and what it takes to pay it off.

They already have our tax records.

This is another step for the government to stick their nose in everyone's business and use "terrorism and organized crime" to justify it.
