most of us complainers as far as the freedom issue goes
aren't talking about today really....
we are talking about 20-30 years down the road as we see the commufascists slowly taking baby steps one step at a time bit by bit stripping away our freedom
tyranny doesn't build overnight....

there are some Homeland Security restrictions about cashing a check over a certain dollar amount at a bank where you don't have an account. At least that's what a bank told me when the wouldn't cash a check for $ 6,500. I think the threshold may be $ 5,000.
yeah pretty sure 5k is the trigger point for them to ask questions
also i think as far as bank wires and all that sort of shite....5k+ is the point when they report it to government and that sort of shite
you can thank dubya for this one willie
everybody gets to get asked questions and treated like a criminal now when they withdraw over 5k from a bank....but that's the price to pay to keep us safe from the evil tewwoists.....sound familiar to anything going on right now?.....LOL.....all liberal logic....just of a different kind

You made an essentially blanket submission that if someone wants to withdraw a few grand from their personal bank account that they will be "treated like a criminal". While that may have honestly happened to you, it's not something that occurs for the rest of us.
As for the guy in the video link, he was unduly detained when discovered carrying a large amount of cash onto a commercial airliner.
Meanwhile, on that very same day - and on every single day of the year - it's reasonble to believe that literally thousands of Americans transport significant amounts of cash on an airline flight without any interference whatsoever.
If we examine our nation of over 300 million people in detail, it's pretty easy to find individual cases of people's freedoms being abused.
However, those cases do not counter the prevailing fact that they represent relative rarities when compared to the very free lifestyles enjoyed by Americans in the year 2009.
Slight correction - $25 fine if you choose to not wear your seatbelt; you are observed by a police officer; he makes a traffic stop and writes you up.
Failing the latter two components, it's reasonable to surmise that literally millions of Americans ride in passenger vehicles daily without being buckled up
Not correct. As Willie accurately notes, going to a bank where you have no account and seeking to cash a check over $5K will trigger questions - with the bulk of those being rather reasonable and in the best interest of the bank and the person who wrote the check.
If you're pulling it from your own account, you won't be "treated like a criminal", unless that bank is perhaps interested in losing you as a customer.
If someone came into BOA and wanted to cash a check signed by me for over $5K, I'd appreciate knowing the bank takes a couple minutes to verify that I actually wrote and signed the check.
If the receipient feels he's being "treated like a criminal" he can of course refuse to take payment from me using that method.
The day that ever happens, I'll report back to this thread and we'll all commiserate with the poor guy, even as he's on the way down the road with his $5,000 in cash after the bank made a simple phone call to me to verify the check.
