True, but most of these issues we've been discussing don't have anything to do with preventing bank failures or fostering economic security - they're designed to compel banks to report to the government the activities of their customers.

I don't know either the genesis or rationale specifically for Reg D (compliance with which generated this thread), but I'm skeptical it dates back to 1933.

Besides, I don't want the Federal Government protecting me from every little risk in life, especially at such a great cost to my liberty and to my privacy.
