Errr, right...
duh
Still, on principle the banks are way overshooting their authority and I wonder how much of this is really about anti-competitive actions on the part of US big banking. Like Jim mentioned, the idea of having an account closed because it might be "off shore" is just none of their concern period. If there is a problem, all they have to do is make sure their paperwork is in order if the feds want to come sniffing around. IMHO, its not up to them to judge. I won't be surprised if there is a WTO action that e-passporte could bring somewhere in the mix here.
