That assures that folk will answer the danged thing, instead of shooting a g-man(or g-woman, etc.). This order may well have destroyed that privacy barrier.<br /><br />And recall the IRS <em>has</em> all bank records. If you use a credit card, debit card, check, or anything else that touches a bank or similar institution -- the IRS has it. If the person you deal with withdrew the cash, or deposits the cash, the IRS gets the record. Especially if the amount is over a few hundred, they check into that. The order lets the "background check" function (how is that for a black-hole of a name?) sift through, and track more gun sales that you might think.<br /><br />There is nothing benign about this laundry list of "we don't have time to obey the Constitution, or restrict Ourselves to mere legal processes."Brad K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18378344866487206569noreply@blogger.com
