Bank confidentiality and terrorist finance

The Federalist Society is giving a half-day conference this Tuesday, Apr. 26 in Washington (details here) on the Bank Secrecy Act, which on a rationale of terrorism-fighting is invading bank depositors' privacy to an unprecedented extent, as well as inflicting onerous regulatory burdens on both banks and their customers.
