Prior to this publication, mass media mention of "following the money" did not name specific programs... There is a big difference between "everybody knows X is doing something about Y" and "X is doing this about Y and they are using Z to do it." Thank you for the background for your assumption. Yes, there's a difference. Whether the different matters has not been demonstrated. Nor has an argument for its likelihood been argued. My assumption, and I acknowledge that it is an assumption, is that if I know that my large transactions may be monitored, then someone in the business of making such transactions surely does. The particulars of the mechanism for monitoring are way below my radar. Monitoring is monitoring. I know not to move large chunks of money around that I cannot explain. Sure, I suppose there might be some idiot child of AQ that didn't get the message, but the probabilities are small. If there is some evidence or logic to suggest that the probabilities are large, or that there's something about Swift that might make folks think it was exempt, I'd like to hear it. Otherwise the difference is pretty much academic.
