I recently traveled to Canada by road trip, and when I called my bank’s number I was surprised to learn that I don’t need to report things like this. This actually disturbs me because it shows that they must have some way of collecting sufficient data to show that I am traveling to a specific place at a specific time, and in my opinion my bank has no business knowing this unless I choose to disclose it.

but how many people would remember to do that?

Every single person who has traveled has been advised to do this. “People might forget” is no good reason to mandate sharing this data. It should be opt-in, and it’s disgusting that it’s not.

You have so much respect from me, you don’t even know…

Thank you for all of this
