Instead of arguing against what is “tantamount to...”, why not argue the actual point that was raised? Basically, by loading up a straw man and arguing against it, you’ve invoked the classic fallacy of straw argumentation. So that makes your comments absolute bull shiite.

The bigger issue here is the cost of implementation. 1) cost for business to install systems for monitoring 2) cost of cataloging and storing records for a year on site then 5 years off site 3) cost of regulators to review monitoring and historical records. What appears to be simple isn't so simple when one takes a step back. This doesn't even consider the privacy implications; now government will have a record of every financial transaction made sortable by person and conversation.
