I use a small locally owned bank and know all the tellers very well. I had heard a rumor that ALL banks were briefed by Homeland Security about a new procedure last fall. I casually asked a female teller when she had her homeland security briefing-- Nov. or Dec? She asked how I knew about the secret briefing.. I said I was a stockholder and tried to keep up on the bank's progress. She said the stockholders were not to be informed --only bank employees.
She looked around to see if anyone could hear us.. I said not to worry, I would keep quiet(she obviously did not know me). She said that in case of a financial panic or another 911 or some other catastrophe, martial law, one could not get into their safe deposit box unless a person with HS was present. I asked why and she said they were looking for terrorists.. I asked what a terrorist would have in a safe deposit box? She said large amounts of cash, gold, silver, guns, drugs, etc. She said HS would confiscate it. She asked me again not to mention the conversation-- she could lose her job. This is the truth. Find a friendly teller at your bank--confirm it. Read the small print on your safe deposit box contract.. Hell, read the small print on your checking and savings agreement. Once you put the money in the bank- you lose control and possibly your money.. Ask the customers at Northern Rock in England this year.
