Why not hang a 'No Bank Robberies' sign


Say Uncle notes that banks are once again asking bank robbers to remove their hats and sunglasses before robbing the bank.

Responding to a more than one-third hike in bank robbery, the Florida Bankers Association is urging its members to adopt new rules.

Not additional guards or cameras, but a dress code for customers.

The group rolled out a "No Hats, No Hoods, No Sunglasses" program, which includes lobby signs asking customers to remove those items before approaching a teller.

Those who refuse would be directed to an area with more security or a more experienced teller.

And those who refuse to drop their shotguns will be directed to the vault. I say once again, because we reported on this back in 2002, at least twice.

Some even theorized that crooks would be dumb enough to comply:

"FBI Special Agent Dave Burlew said it could make some robbers think twice and could give authorities a full view of a robber's face from security images..."

I'll believe them the first time I hear a Muslim woman has been asked to remove her veil.
