August 2008 - Sunglasses Ban Begins in USA Bank - New security policies have started in two Mississippi banks. Customers entering the banks are now banned from wearing hats, hoods and sunglasses when entering these banks.

We expect more and more banks to institute the same policies in the months to come. No more cheap sunglasses for them!
