Rumor mill
Someone my wife knows recently received a letter from a local bank that stated in effect:
We want our safe deposit box customers to know in advance that due to new regulations, Homeland Security will be able to come into our bank with dogs to sniff the safe deposit boxes for large amounts of cash and firearms. We want to warn our customers in advance that they should remove any large amounts of cash and firearms from their safe deposit box to prevent it from being confiscated.
It appears that Homeland Security is looking for terrorists. Supposedly some of the terrorist groups routinely hand deliver cash in order to finance their operations.
If any of this is true, then all of the innocent citizens will now need to worry about having their property [temporarily?] confiscated, and/or dealing with any government red tape that would result.
Has anyone else heard about this?
