Subject: RE: BS: Banks and National ID Cards
Liland, your second link didn't got to anything.

I had to argue with a bank manager, back in 1991 or so because they were not going to accept US Dollars for a utility bill which I had paid there every month, in cash, for several years. Their claim was the utility company forbade it. I went round and round with the bank manager, who told me pretty soon people would be paying everything with back cards and cash would be obsolete! I wrote a letter to the bank and the utility company and by the following month they'd rescinded their policy and went back to accepting cash.

Has anyone here heard anything baout the grocery store discount cards feeding info about your buying habits into something called the DCIS? Supposedly that is how they caught one would be terrorist or something because they tracked what he was buying and it didn't add up to any good or something. I was told this by someone in town who said a grocery store check out person said when she doesn't like the looks of someone, she will look them up in this "DCIS." Or is it "DCIC?" I know Wymoming has its share of paranoids, so just wondering if any of you have ever heard of this?

Oh, Liland, when my daughter back East didn't drive, she had a state i.d. card that looked like a driver's license but was marked to be used for identification purposes only. She never seemed to have any problems with that.

We went without any kind of bank acct. for over 10 years. Now, when one tries to pay everything with cash they are suspect!
