What's in Your Wallet?

I know it smells like a slippery slope, but they keep reducing the threshold for what constitutes a potentially suspicious financial transaction. Once it reaches $1000 that's going to make a lot of us "potential terrorists." What is particularly asinine about this whole business is, as the article admits, that "Criminals are aware of the current U.S. threshold for recordkeeping and make transactions under it to avoid providing identification" . . .

Okay, sounds like this program doesn't work, just indiscriminately targets a lot of innocent people.

Sounds like a case of Homeland Insecurity. . . .

Surely, the end times are near. Don't worry, though, there's always hope available for the right price.
