[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1634399, member: 26302"]I understand Jim, but those were reasonable requests previously and I understood the need. I used to work at a place that had a payroll account at a bank, lets call Fells Wargo. One day something happened and for some reason I got a check and not a direct deposit. Fells Wargo happened to be closer to me than my CU so I decided to just cash it. They wanted a thumb print. I do not view a bank asking for a thumbprint as a "reasonable request". I didn't cash the check. Not only that, but professionally now I refuse to even consider Fells Wargo for any banking relationship. I do not support businesses I believe violate people's rights to privacy needlessly. I feel the same about all aspects of privacy. I actually turned down a nice job opportunity once because right before I was to start I found out for health insurance they demanded blood draws for analysis. I simply believe this is over the line as well. Unless we start drawing lines in the sand, the various bureaucracies in life will suck every last liberty, freedom, and privacy away from us.[/QUOTE]
