Interesting case.

You can thank supporters of the war on drugs for this stuff, as that was the excuse made at the time to implement the regulations. If you are one of those supporters of the WoD, then congratulations! You've just got stung by your own desire for a bigger, more efficient police state.

IMO, the main reason to oppose the WoD has nothing to do with the drugs themselves, but rather the measures that are implemented to prosecute it which are always designed to increase BigBrother's power and decrease yours.

Couldn't agree more.

I'm thinking it has something to do with the profiling associated with the Know Your Customer law.

I seldom do more than withdraw a couple hundred bucks in a week to play with. That savings is automatically replenished from another account, it's my cookie jar.
So to deposit a single large amount may trigger some profile flag.

Stupid nazis.
