>You understand the problem here may repeat itself elsewhere as well, right?

I do, and how is this to cap off our discussion:

>You move your money to another bank, because the increased security annoys you.

On my way out, I would quote Benjamin Franklin: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."

I go out of my way to help my community, and I expect those I support to do the same. That bank could put more resources into investigating/catching the robbers who are attacking not just the bank but the security and liberty of their community, or it could treat every customer with more suspicion than they did yesterday. I know where the latter option leads, and I won't stand for it.

You're right that it repeats itself elsewhere. Often, I find.
