Is anyone going to address the presumption of guilt?
In other words, "WILL NO ONE ACKNOWLEDGE MY WHINING AS A LEGITIMATE GRIEVANCE AND PAT ME ON THE HEAD?"
How is a preventative measure by a private business "presumption of guilt"?
Do you consider security cameras to be a demonstration that a store's owners assume everyone coming in are guilty of shoplifting?
Do you consider a metal detector at a government building's entrance to be a presumption that everyone coming in is carrying a bomb?
Do you consider Wal-Mart requiring that you enter a PIN number if you pay with a debit card to be a presumption on the company's part that everyone paying with a debit card is guilty of theft and/or fraud?
Or amI the only one on this site that remembers being taught that we are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty?
"Innocent until proven guilty" is your protected right when accused of a crime in a court of law.
A business is in no way required to acquiesce to potential liabilities and losses by assuming that nobody is committing a crime through them or their services, or on their premises, and is well within their rights to take whatever steps they feel are necessary to protect themselves and prevent those crimes.
If it's such a threat to your masculinity, BANK WITH SOMEONE ELSE.
And good luck finding a bank still in operation that isn't taking steps to protect themselves and their customers' investments.
