"The banking privacy laws require cause and notification to the accused before records can be accessed"

Hate to be the one to destroy your illusions but are you aware that you cannot withdraw $10,000 or more from your banking account without the Government being notified?

I share a desire for privacy but treason trumps that right. What is going on here is treasonous. Surely there is some way these people can be punished without the loss of our rights. If we seek to preserve our rights by protecting traitors we will soon have no rights left to protect.

If we were talking about people suspected of treason I'd agree with you but this program appears to be a broad net not targeting people suspected of treason. Hopefully you are right and I'm wrong.

BTW, on the withdrawing $10,000 thing the bank reports that transaction but if the government wants all your records they have to use that as a basis of an administrative subpoena and notify the customer.
