Oh, I believe you are mistaken. Governments are quite interested in your financial dealings, even with banks. The more they know, the less you can do without their direct knowledge.
- cm2187 11y agoI am not saying they are not interested. I am saying that they just need to ask the banks who will hand over everything no question asked. GCHQ does not need to intercept your connection to get your bank statement.
- sillygeese 11y agoI bet they don't even need to ask..
- tired_man 11y agoMany countries still require warrants.

- tired_man 11y agoI wouldn't be surprised. Have you ever read about the various French Intel services after the revolution? Talk about convoluted. They trusted no one or even each other.
