The article posted implied that your bank account could be seized,card or not.
It was very misleading.

The article is Not misleading.
READ the research info I provided, *specifically:
“The ERAD Prepaid Card Reader is a small, handheld device that uses wireless connectivity to *allow law enforcement officers in the *field to check the balance of cards. This allows for identification of suspicious prepaid cards and the *ability to put a temporary hold on the linked funds until a full investigation can be completed.”
So, Any magnetic stripe card you possess and their affiliated bank accounts are fair game for civil asset forfeiture and can be inspected and frozen / seized All Without a criminal charge or due process.
This is a constitutional rights show stopper, ie: 4th & 5th.
