Made any bank transactions lately, of size say 5k?
Yes, I just did, in fact, this morning...
I did last November -- $6,500. No problem. It's incumbant on the bank to check your name against the list of provided by Homeland Security. If your name isn't on the list, the transaction sails through, like mine did.
"Made any bank transactions lately, of size say 5k?"
Yes-- As a matter of fact I made a wire transfer of almost $40K to a firm in Canada.
No jack-booted thugs yet, but I'll let you know when they arrive!
