Right and a bank, which is heavily regulated and relies on the feds for all
sorts of privileges is not about to break the law in acquiessing to federal
demands. Talk to anybody who has had the bank/client feduciary
responsibility conveniently ignored when the IRS decided to twist the
bank's arm a little. Bankers are timid people with too much to loose. They
run scared when the feds decide to play a little hard ball.

Not to mention the NSA has conveniently trojaned the international banking
exchange system so they can read the traffic whenever they want. All in the
name of the 'drug war' and 'national security' and all that crap.
