Guys, you all are missing the real reason why, its part of the the Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003. a.k.a. Patriot Act II
One part of the act redefines what a financial institution is besides banks, credit unions, and savings and loan organizations.
Now the definition also includes brokers and dealers registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, investment bankers, operators of credit-card systems, insurance companies, dealers in precious metals, stones, or jewels, licensed senders of money, telegraph companies, airplane and boat dealers, Realtors and estate closings, and the U.S. Post Office.
All in the name of fighting terrorism, feeling safer yet?
