I've been advocating this measure of stopping money outflow for the last few weeks on FR.

I wired funds to Sweden recently and was asked for ID and they made a copy of it and attached it to their transaction slip.

I don't want government intrusion either, I don't even want an IRS. But wired money going out of the country? I think it's fair game.

When I go abroad I have to declare cash if it exceeds $10,000. It seems these restrictions have a long history intertwined with U.S. Tariff law. I don't see why it would be objectionable to anyone.
