This is the first I've heard of it, but I know and like that I live in the sticks. I'm afriad that if my bank did that, some of the rednecks might fetch a rope. Although, I have the advantage of being known by almost all the senior tellers at all the branches....

I guess my question is how does this help the bank? They have nothing to compare it to, so they can't tell if a check is stolen. I recall we have a few bankers here, and I'd love to hear thier explination. Becuase if they can't impress me, it sounds like stupidity on par with the TSA.
