I would argue the bill of rights, specifically the 4th amendment, should protect you from a government imposed search of your papers to open an account.

- lazide 4y agoIt's hard to imagine that standing up to the situation that is required, which is someone must provide gov't issued identification to have a bank account (because terrorists). After all, I don't think anyone has a right to privacy from the gov't regarding gov't issued IDs. Maybe 10th amendment/interstate commerce clause overreach? (Why is the federal gov't mandating what my local branch requires for acceptance of ID?!?) But then the Gov't would pull out the whole 9/11 patriot act justification, national security, blah blah blah, and chances are the supreme court would give them even more justification.
