I just called my bank to cancel an extra ATM card they sent and as part of
the identity verification process (name, account #, DOB, SSN) the customer
service rep asked "as part of the Patriot Act, are you a US citizen?"

Of course when I asked for what part of the act the bank was complying with
the rep didn't know. I know there were extra know-your-customer regulations
that were in the Patriot Act, but does anyone know what specific regulation
from the Patriot Act a bank would fall under for such a routine transaction
?
