1. Help me! What are you talking about? I'm paranoid, too, and I don't know |
|
why they talked to the banks. But it sounds right up my paranoia alley.

2. Someting about if there is an emergency, |
|
no guns, gold, cash or silver can leave the bank that was in a person's lockbox. Just papers that may have been left in them. Homeland Security would determine what leaves. Bank employees are supposedly not allowed to tell the customers of this plan.

9. Banks are not doing this, |
|
Check this out. I had a police detective leave me a message about a client of the bank. Long story. I turned it over to my compliance officer who said, much to my surprise, that due to the Patriot Act, we can't disclose a thing without a subpoena.

10. I believe this is a different scenario. |
|
This was about an emergency plan during a disaster of some sort. Supposedly, it was a workshop.

Didn't read your reply.
They have talking with them about being prepared for attacks, and work with them on that. Nothing like the "stopping people from getting their wills and papers out of safety deposit boxes"

5. You know, it has occurred to me with all the warrantless spying, |

what assurances would traders using telecommunication devices have that their buys and sells aren't being monitored in real-time by those who don't need to know specific orders and amounts tied to a particular name and account? That sort of semi-confidential information, I would think, would be very useful profitable to certain trading entities.
