Something similar happened to me which was even sillier than that.
The institution which holds my medical savings account (HSA) said
that it insisted on having a street address, not a post office box,
on file for me -- even though I receive all my mail at my post office
box for reasons of privacy. (I have also frequently had trouble with
people trying to send me mail at a street address when I did give it
out.) It is claiming that the same law mandates this, even though I
can find nothing in the law about it.
Do they, or our government, really believe that a would-be suicidal
terrorist would maintain a medical savings account?
