* The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is the government
* corporation that insures deposits at U.S. member banks. The FDIC
* improvement act of 1991 required the FDIC to study the costs and
* feasibility of tracking every bank deposit in the U.S.
*
* The notion was it was necessary to compute bank deposit insurance
* requirements in real time.
*
* Not everyone thought this was a good idea. The American Bankers'
* Association noted it was inconceivable that such data would "be
* used only by the FDIC in deposit insurance coverage functions."

* its draft report to Congress in June 1993 a "Deposit Tracking
* System" (DTS) that would also track deposits to, or withdrawals
* from, U.S. bank accounts in real time. FinCen is the Financial
* Crimes Enforcement Network agency.
