>and even some consumer purchases trigger SAR review when I withdraw the cash If what you're doing is legal, so what? If anything, a sort of social protest in favor of cash and against pervasive, parasitic transaction monitoring should arise to saturate such systems with bullshit SAR reviews. In effect, people should decide to deliberately go cash-heavy for transactions that arbitrarily trigger these idiocies. The bean-counter bureaucrats want to watch how we spend every penny of paper and coin? Make them suffer the burden of it.
