According to InvestmentWatch and Alex Jones a secret DHS memo to banks claims they can open any safe deposit box or storage unit without a warrant. This story originally came out sometime in 2011 and was posted by Know The Lies and numerous other sites. It’s hard to track down where this alleged story originated from, I haven’t been able to find any documents to back up these claims. In the 2011 article they referenced a CRS report titled “Homeland Security: Banking and Financial Infrastructure Continuity” I could find no reference to DHS prying open our safe deposit boxes or storage units.
I did however find a DHS banking & financial sector report from 2011 my findings are listed below.
According to DHS’s 2011 Sector Critical Infrastructure Protection Annual Report (for the banking & financial sector)
The report makes no mention of DHS spying on our safe deposit boxes, it does however show they know everything about your electronic transactions, insurance, buying habits.
DHS & the banking/finance sector consider activists & hacktivists criminals:
The cozy gov’t./private sector relationship is encouraged by DHS: “The Financial Services Sector is committed to the public-private partnership”.
(Page 18) “The Financial Services Sector is committed to the public-private partnership and appreciates the significant interest and resources devoted by both the private and public sectors. These efforts are numerous and often in need of a mechanism for better coordination in terms of allocating scarce resources in both the public and private sectors. There is a need to develop a strategy to better focus efforts and coordination so that we use our collective resources most efficiently and effectively. Developing clear mechanisms for coordinating across multiple government agencies and industry participants will advance outcomes, encourage participation, and improve efficiency. When possible, all such activities should be coordinated through the Department of the Treasury as the SSA, per the NIPP requirement.”

thank you for using the term “safe deposit box” rather than the all-too-common mistake, “safety deposit box.”
Look up the Phoenix Project – This was created by Olie North and FEMA and tested in Vietnam. The point was to destroy the civilian base of support for the resistance. Death camp, torture chambers etc. These are the plans for the majority of the citizens of this nation. Look at your children…did you ever dream in your worst nightmare that this would ever be considered?
Then look up Project Popeye – This was the beginning of the weather modification program – HAARP.
We cannot trust our Republic to do right by the majority so we should turn to a democracy – majority rule.

Hmmm
every single time DHS searches our person, our papers or our effects without our permission they are committing a crime. They are breaking the law, violating both the public trust and the Constitution.
In simple terms the Department of Homeland security through its actions has been telling the American people for over a decade that might makes right. There is an old saying about the guy who lived by the sword dying by the sword.
This report claims that memos exist from the DHS to Banking institutions advising them to expect searches of their bank-vault, safe-deposit boxes on demand.

Note: The actual memo is not produced.
