Big Brother Upon Us

Do you do your banking at a federally insured institution? Nice to have security against loss, but how does it feel to know you're being constantly watched?

The revised Patriot Act just passed by Congress has provisions that might bring your banking practices under scrutiny. The checks you write and the deposits you make are all are under a microscope as a way to try to keep America safe from terrorists.

"We're automatically at high risk,” said Empire Bank vice president Cindy Harding, a fraud investigator. Banking with a federally insured bank means you're now being monitored under the Patriot Act.

Each and every customer will be classified based on his or her perceived risk threat: low, medium or high risk. "The feds look at us,” said Harding. “They’re monitoring everyone's activity."

Thanks to the traitors in the US Congress. When will they start working for America?
