Probably. Funny thing is that the German branch of Reuters reported a different story denying the explosives story
 
The market doesn't need anything else to be afraid of right now, and the banks don't need any more excuses to pile on extra fees. I think I see a background check nad armed escort in the future for anyone who actually needs to see a live person when doing their banking. For a fat fee of course.
