MT Predator 2,294 Posted August 14, 2011 Report Share Posted August 14, 2011 The Patriot Act already IDs folks who move any large amounts of physical cash for any purchases or deposits into a banking institution. This is a new one here. Make sure you use your CC when you buy a hundred of those "dangerous" night flashlights then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IndyArms 10,186 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 In regards to the Goatee thing... my buddy here at work grew one out a couple years ago now... It was long, and his GF ( who he LIVES WITH ) hated it SO MUCH... she PAID HIM $50.00 to cut it off!!!! And he did!!! HAHAHAHAHA I would have kept growing one as soon as the last one was gone, for $50.00 to cut it off each time!!! HAHAHA!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm thinking if you just dip the heads, that if you were to actually drop them in water, the stick would absorb enough water to seep up into the match head and destroy it, no?

elvis christ 451 Posted August 15, 2011 Report Share Posted August 15, 2011 Think of all the poor waitresses and strippers who will be reported for using cash. Good one. But seriously, one guy in the article makes a good point, FEMA does encourage people to "be ready," I've seen commercials on TV and heard them on the radio, but now the FBI is suspicious of people being prepared for an emergency. Definitely a double standard within the federal govt. Not that that's a surprise, really. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paulyski 2,227 Posted August 16, 2011 Report Share Posted August 16, 2011 it's a BS email that's been going around Are you absolutely certain? Some weird shit happened to me last week.... I had withdrawn money from an ATM, but decided against the purchase I'd was going to make, so next time I was in the bank making my deposits, I had the bank change $300.00 worth of $20 dollar bills into 3 $100 dollar bills. The woman asked for my ID & entered my driver's licence # into her computer. When I asked why, she said "they just had to start doing it"... I asked why & she said she couldn't say, but after a certain amount they had to card you. WTF? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WTF? this is just a guess, but its possible they just want to make sure they know who you are in case you slip them counterfeit cash in exchange for legit bills Second possibility: Small bills, being converted into larger denominations being tracked as "Drug Transactions". I could also see the IRS wanting that kind of data to use when accusing someone of hiding income. If there is some voluntary cooperation with the requests of .gov agencies involved, you might never hear about it. Third: The bank wants to make certain you have an account for all non-account transactions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's for the counterfeit issue, not anything to do with the Patriot Act. Thanks, still kind of creepy. It was after a transaction at the branch I visit every couple of days to deposit the payments that everybody sends me so they know darn well who I am. What sends up red-flags is they tell you flat out that they can't tell you why they're entering your Licence # into the computer. They just say it's "to keep everybody safe" & when asked whether it's an internal policy or a government issued directive, she said government. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
