Try this then: "Sorry, all your savings $$$ are gone. You got here too late, if you were one of that first hundred you would have got it back. But now we must close as its all gone.
BTW :If you owe us $$$ we will sell that loan so you still owe it.
We feel as bad as you do even thought we who work at the bank got ours out first. "

The bank has an obligation to pay depositors.

No-one is talking about a bank run, and cash controls to mitigate a cash run.

This is every-day transaction kind of stuff. That is none of the bank's damn business.

I think you are making a big leap...from ‘Hey I want to take out $10k’ to a ‘run on the bank’.

Banks fail ALL THE TIME. And the federal government steps in, and halts large withdrawals. In other words, they already have emergency powers to prevent a run on the banks...and new rules such as these would have no impact on bank runs. None whatsoever.
