TJ, are you saying this happened to you? And recently? Cos this story has been around for two years already, and was classed as urban legend even then (well, it would be, wouldn't it, even if it were true?) But oh, dear, TJ, you seem to have published the email addresses of your friends as well as the story. They might not thank you for that. R
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.
