Bank is secure in case people get desperate ?

Hey Hobie,

This could be nothing however all the talk about the 25th thru Nov 7 going to be a massive transition point I thought this might be worth noting.

All of the Bank of America branches in Southern California have armed guards at the door. This has been a recent change from several weeks ago where at the very same branches (and ones that I have frequented for years) had no guards. They all seem to be from the same security service dressed in cop gear with black boots, armed with hand guns and mace. I have been to 3 different B of A's in the last 4 days, all three had the armed guards hanging outside. When I went to the ATM today I asked the guard if the bank had been robbed recently and he tells me;

"No but we are getting close to the holiday season and they want to make sure the bank is secure in case people get desperate."

Did BofA set these guards at the door in anticipation of something that is coming? Possibly a bank holiday early next week that closes the banks for a few days?

Speculation aside the banks are getting very serious about protecting their cash and by there actions it seems that they are expecting violence in the not to distant future.

Kind Regards,
Chris
