Why not, if I deposit 10k into my bank account it gets checked out.

It wouldn't seem reasonable - but I bet they could do it - even if it's just a quick check concerning contacts and affiliations.


Much of what's going on isn't reasonable - and it may take unreasonable methods to defeat the unreasonable.

An individual or accumulative CASH deposit in a single day results in the bank asking for ID and filing a form with the IRS.

The bank can seek an exemption for qualified business clients who routinely have large cash deposits.

A wire transfer or check of $10,000 or more does not trigger any alert.

Investigating wire transfers associated with more than 1 million annual peer to peer loans would certainly create a significant number of new government jobs.

Neither body has been released or claimed.

Likely there will be a controversy about where these bodies will eventually be buried, similar to what happened in Boston with the older brother's remains.

Actually - CNN is reporting that Enrique Marquez helped build Pipe Bombs with the Radical Islamic Terrorist Farook, BUT - it was just their HOBBY. Just clean safe fun. He is sure that Farook did not use any of his Pipe Bombs because he was so good at building them .... they would have exploded.

Friend of killer says he helped build prior pipe bombs |CNN 12/12/15

Perhaps Marquez is getting a $15 Million dollar lawsuit prepared for insinuating he built poor Pipe Bombs as a "Hobby".
Perhaps Marquez can score a "Meet and Greet" at the White House ..... to sooth is hurt feelings.

At this point ..... Nothing would shock me.

"PEOPLE are RESPONSIBLE for themselves."

That's what it boils down to. It will take time for the police to arrive. When they get there, they will have to access the situation. Basically, you are on your own for quite some time. If you aren't trained or comfortable with a gun, carry pepper spray or a tazer instead.

Default Could the San Bernardio massacre have been prevented?

"Spencer at one time gave training seminars to counterterrorists and roomfuls of special agents on the tenets of basic Islam. He would take them through the Koran and the life of Mohammed “so that they would understand the motives and goals of those who want to destroy us.” Spencer reasoned, “It’s hard to defeat an enemy if you don’t know who they are.”

His instruction all came to an end in October 2011 when fifty-seven Muslin organizations wrote to John Brennan, who was then the Homeland Security Advisor and is now the head of the CIA, demanding that they fire Spencer and other trainers who “spoke about Islam in connection with terrorism” and that they cleanse all counter-terrorism training material of any mention of Islam and jihad."

I guess you may as well ask if the Sandy Hook massacre could have been prevented, or the Luby's massacre, or the Colorado theater massacre, etc.

It is difficult to stop a nutter that is bent on killing, if they have access to the proper weapons made for that purpose.

We already know they are radicalized terrorists, what more do we need to know.
