What if every bank adopted this practice and you didn't have a choice to bank somewhere that did not, including credit unions.
article posted:
Numbers provided by the FBI for Jan. 1 - Dec. 31, 2010 show a total of 5,628 robberies at banks nationwide, down a little more than 6 percent from the 5,943 bank robberies in the same period of 2009.

They certainly have an argument to implement it if they wanted to try.

Depends on who is doing the patting down 
No, I wouldn't. I would keep my money "under my mattress" or find a place that wanted my business.
So far I've made $0.02 in interest since they've had my money. I'm probably going to switch banks soon anyway.

It's not that invasive unless you have to deal with it on a daily basis. Theres a reason you don't see mass protests in front of congress or the airports. It's much easier to just bitch on the internet than actually do something.

Sorry Kay, but you can't really make this argument after the latest Wall Street Scandal. Which made the economic fallout from 9\11 pale by comparison. And nothing has changed. 
However, the idea of Investment bankers getting searched before and after work every day does have some appeal

This is actually a great idea cause the free market would ensure that the right people are in the patting down business.

This was going to be my response.
Who the hell goes to a brick and mortar bank anymore? heh
I don't even think you have to go in for a lot of banks for crap like home loans now-a-days.

i would never participate with a business that does ridiculous crap like forced patdowns...especially one that provides no benefit to me...like a bank....and especially when there are other options for similar services

And that is what I have been saying about this topic all along.
I will also state that the original analogy here is way past stupid.

For obvious reasons, people have very different responses to white collar crimes and bank robberies involving dangerous weapons.
