There's a similar stupidity here in New Zealand. There are lots of 
people complaining that the banks do not do enough to "protect" people 
from scams because a few morons have lost lots of their money by 
transferring it to scammers.

It's not up to the banks to police what you do with your own money! 
What happened to taking responsibility for your own actions?? Using 
some common sense?? These complaining fools want a nanny state to 
protect them from everything, and then they'll complain about being 
"spied" on and about needing to pay increased fees.

What next? Do they expect the bank to tell them what fast food meals 
they can and cannot buy to eat?? What shirts they can and cannot buy?? 
And then expect a bank refund when what they don't like whatever they 
chose themselves to purchase??

The human race is becoming more and more stupid.  :-\
