These measures do absolutely nothing (and it has been proven) to deter or reduce or prevent terrorism. SWIFT is for wire transactions and terrorism doesn't even utilize it much and where it does, they will just switch. This isn't about terrorism at all, its about taxation and monitoring transactions and as was posted previously, with the banning of cash coming into play all payments ultimately becoming electronic.

It's all a part of the same whole and will do nothing to make us safer but will do everything to increase our enslavement. I use the example of surveillance and loss of privacy because that's the major curb we now endure:

Nothing stops terrorism. Or crime. The measures are always aimed at reducing it.

Why are you worried about the Government seeing your financial records?

Your logic could be applied to police on the street. If "No One" haven't committed a crime, why are they there?

Criminals are still free to commit crimes. The problem for them is having police able to see them doing it, or trace them afterwards. I can still transfer money abroad, or receive money via transfers.

Of course the flaw in your logic is this.

SWIFT is for wire transactions and terrorism doesn't even utilize it much and where it does, they will just switch.

How do you know what criminals do?

As for switching, the funds are often in millions. You can apply that logic to criminals using gloves to beat finger prints.

I suspect you have a point. Part of this is to catch people not paying the right amount of tax. Do you think bank accounts should be like those in the Caymans or Switzerland. To protect tax dodgers privacy?
