<< <i>How can you people not get this? It's the "beeswax" of the people handing him the cash. who are going to be "on the hook" if they contribute to a situation that someone complains about.
What baloney. It's your account and your money. It's none of the teller's business why you want the cash, what amount you want, or what you plan to do with it. It's coming out of your own account and they know who they're giving it to. It's not the government's business either.
The bank has your photo ID and your signature. The tellers can verify who you are, so nobody's "on the hook" for dispensing cash. The bank would have the same liability issuing a cashier's check or transferring funds to another bank.
For now, it's about eliminating cash so they can charge transaction fees on every transaction and gov.com can find a way to tax every transaction. In the final analysis, it's about control. >>

It's interesting how some people have become so comfortable living under the watchful eye and make fun or insult the people that are not. That's my observation of this thread.
It's a changing world that's for sure. I'm not so sure it's for the better though.
Went to get cash for coin show they only had so many 100's, had get the rest in 20's man what a stack. Teller was PO'd after I sat there and counted it all twice! It was 4:45pm she was only one inside and there was 8 or 10 folks in line behind me when I turned around. I say cash is still main street in my little town.

Every one payed for all coins with in eye sight of my table with green backs. Gold eagles were in demand. Bunch of silver seekers but it was way over priced very scarce. Four area shows with in 3 months not much was moving. Attendance was few and far between. Big college football weekend was the general consensus for lack of public attendance.

Sounds like gsa1fan just went to the bank and got a bunch of cash right before they closed, counted it twice, backed up the line, and then walked out with his money.
Was your cash stripped from you, GSA? How about you derryb, what's the story of when They came for you and seized your cash? And more importantly, what was THEIR side of the story?

I travel with bullion and cash in my business dealings. I'm hoping awareness and outrage will stop the thievery before I become a victim.

Unfortunately, because of the "profit sharing" with seized funds, all levels of law enforcement have found a whole new money stream.
Why you on me Bailey I have no idea. The subject is death of cash. I was making a statement it(CASH) is still "Legal tender for all debts, public and private".

Your travel can become quickly restricted simply by revoking your passport or not issuing you a passport.
From the State Dept:
Reasons Passport Issuance Can Be Denied
Defaulting/Non-Payment on a repatriation loan or medical assistance loan Being committed to a mental institution or declared incompetent by the courts Having been subjected to a previous revocation or denial Currently the subject of foreign extradition requests Previously issued a temporary passport for certain reasons
The Department of State, in accordance with the Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations 51.60-62, and 51.65, will revoke passports for the following reasons:
Passport was obtained illegally or fraudulently Non-Payment of child support Passport was misused or changed/altered Passport holder’s Certificate of Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship is cancelled Certain drug trafficking convictions Those convicted of sex tourism

I just happen to think that the levels of controls are about right, not too much nor too little, in most cases these days. (even though the mistakes get a lot of press)
As a frequent traveller (and one of the "sheeple", I guess, sure feel like livestock sometimes), I'm GLAD the other sheeple can't do whatever the hell they want on my flights and in my hotels, because they would (and often do) interfere with my business a whole lot more than the Big Bad Government.

I'm a libertarian , I don't like the idea of enforcing morality . If you want to ban drugs then I say fine ban alcohol too. We know that didn't work and won't work, and we know the war on drugs was lost before it ever began. It's just an excuse for more government. I have a nephew and 2 nieces that were/are heroin addicts . The nephew is 5 years clean , one niece is locked up in a Florida jail and the other is too soon to tell . I still say legalize all of it. Let the chips fall where they may.
Within my family the generation I'm part of is probably 1/3 functioning alcoholics . My parents generation was about the same , the worst of them being my dad who drank himself to death when I was 21.
Intoxicated driving? Why are there places you drive to and drink at and then climb in a car and drive away from?
I can go down by the local watering hole and see the same loser's cars parked in a line out front at closing time most any night. If intoxicated driving bothered anyone why not scoop them up as they pull out of the parking lot ? The cops know who they are why don't they enforce the law?

Took in some cash today. Too late to get to the bank to deposit it. No old hundies in the lot. All new. Must be the FED's new QE notes. Ben still looks good in green and my signature on a check still works, too. What chapter are we on now ?
"Should the war on cash prove unsuccessful in its early stages, banks could be closed for long periods. Investors should be aware of such possibilities and consider whether to hold cash and precious metals prudently outside the banking system. Better to be even months too early than a second too late should we be left facing a bank's closed doors."

Then they came for the drug traffickers, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a drug traficker
Then they came for the child pornographers, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a child pornographer
Then they came for the tax evaders, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a tax evader
Then they came for the money launderers, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a money launderer.
Then they came for the smugglers, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a smuggler.
Then they came for me—a guy with cash to buy a car.
They took my cash, investigated, found me innocent, and gave my cash back
I thanked them for their efforts to reduce and prevent crime

DEA sure does seem to be seizing cash, guns, and vehicles from a majority of folks with Spanish origin or phonetically spelled names. >>
All these 3 letter agencies fighting their imaginary wars are sure costing us taxpayers a lot of money. >>
The illicit drug industry in this country is imaginary? >>
Make drugs legal and poof goes that industry . Being high is no different than being drunk , its equally useless .
I don't partake of either activity but I don't feel the urge to tell anyone else that they can't if they want to.

Wow! There are already too many people driving drunk or otherwise impaired, texting, on phones or whatever.
Drugs including pot, cocaine and heroin are epidemic and many lives are wasted and many families crushed.
You really don't care if drugs are made legal and don't mind people getting high if they want to?
Well, I and many others do.
Strong medical reasons for why these drugs are controlled.
I don't want more people driving intoxicated, lives and families ruined etc.
Unbelieveable and I really find it hard that you truely believe what you said Broncho.

I'm a libertarian , I don't like the idea of enforcing morality . If you want to ban drugs then I say fine ban alcohol too. We know that didn't work and won't work, and we know the war on drugs was lost before it ever began. It's just an excuse for more government.
I have a nephew and 2 nieces that were/are heroin addicts . The nephew is 5 years clean , one niece is locked up in a Florida jail and the other is too soon to tell . I still say legalize all of it. Let the chips fall where they may.
Within my family the generation I'm part of is probably 1/3 functioning alcoholics . My parents generation was about the same , the worst of them being my dad who drank himself to death when I was 21.
Intoxicated driving? Why are there places you drive to and drink at and then climb in a car and drive away from?
I can go down by the local watering hole and see the same loser's cars parked in a line out front at closing time most any night. If intoxicated driving bothered anyone why not scoop them up as they pull out of the parking lot ? The cops know who they are why don't they enforce the law?

<< <i>I don't have a problem with providing a passport for any type of travel and do not view it an impediment to my travel or my rights. Why do you? >>
"papers comrade"
Your travel can become quickly restricted simply by revoking your passport or not issuing you a passport.
From the State Dept:
Reasons Passport Issuance Can Be Denied
Defaulting/Non-Payment on a repatriation loan or medical assistance loan
Being committed to a mental institution or declared incompetent by the courts
Having been subjected to a previous revocation or denial
Currently the subject of foreign extradition requests
Previously issued a temporary passport for certain reasons
The Department of State, in accordance with the Title 22 of the Code of Federal Regulations 51.60-62, and 51.65, will revoke passports for the following reasons:
Passport was obtained illegally or fraudulently
Non-Payment of child support
Passport was misused or changed/altered
Passport holder’s Certificate of Naturalization or Certificate of Citizenship is cancelled
Certain drug trafficking convictions
Those convicted of sex tourism
Keep in mind that once more Americans become dependent on a passport for interstate flights, the above list can easily be expanded to help keep the sheeples in line. You either support more government controls or you don't. You know where I stand, now I know where you stand. >>

personal privacy, by definition, is something you hide.
Surely, you want some level of personal privacy. Appears my level is different from yours. I like choosing what to share and prefer others not choose for me.

I've got nothing to hide. Obviously you do
None of this was even contemplated for travel inside the US for my entire life, until now. Why now?
As current trends continue, it appears that some day you will have something to hide.
All that "fundamental change" is taking place. I don't know how much more obvious it could be.
I knew it would happen.
Because technology has allowed religion to infiltrate judgement.
What do you prefer?

Yeah, I guess I would want to keep those things private also. Lol

Ben still looks good in green and my signature on a check still works, too.

Free fish sandwiches and beer would be nice.
"Should the war on cash prove unsuccessful in its early stages, banks could be closed for long periods. Investors should be aware of such possibilities and consider whether to hold cash and precious metals prudently outside the banking system. Better to be even months too early than a second too late should we be left facing a bank's closed doors."
