> Homeland Security To Confiscate Bank Safe Deposit Box Contents

24 January 2006, 16:04

I’m a VP at a Bank... this is an absolute crock of xxx. The Feds can order any of the safety deposit boxes sealed at any time. That’s nothing new - it’s been that way for years... long before Homeland Security even existed. If they come in with the proper court order, they can pretty much do whatever they want. Is this honestly NEWS to anyone? It’s been that way for decades! I think it’s stretching the truth quite a bit to try and panic eveyrone telling them of some new "secret thing" that the Dept of Homeland Security is going to use to seal all the safety deposit boxes.

News flash people...

The government has ALWAYS had that power.

They can freeze your accounts.

They can order your safety deposit box sealed or opened - their choice.

They can literally TAKE your assets and let you try get get them back through the courts.

They can take your Real Estate and pay you whatever they say it is worth.

I am amused at this story, but it’s stretching the truth quite a bit.
