“Safety is not in the Absence of Danger.”

What a profound statement. In light of the saddening events at Fort Hood this is hits very close to home. A soldier deployed to Iraq had to call her husband at Fort Hood, to ensure he was safe. How ironic. It’s even more ironic that I once convinced a friend that it was archaic not to have a bank account and a debit card. How times have changed. Now with the rise in “money mules” and bank scams involving unauthorized account transfers, are our banks any safer than the sock drawer?
