Anyone have any security issues with Warka? (dealing with personal information disclosure?) I just requested an account be opened today...my friends told me I was crazy for sending my drivers license info to Iraq. Anyone have any problems? Experiences to share? Thx, FiremanDave

I posted the following on another thread because I didn't see this thread already started. Please accept my apologies if this breaks any rules for posting the same thing in two threads... I have to respectfully ask a couple questions about opening an account at Warka: 1) According to http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_1144.html (under special circumstances) there are restrictions to money being wired out of Iraq. After RV, what assurance do we have that monies would be able to be wired back to US banks in USD? 2) Does Warka Bank have systems in place to protect personal information such as addresses, birthdates, etc? Some of my friends are calling me crazy for sending a copy of my drivers license to Iraq over email. I don't think they mean anything personal about it; just wanted to make sure if they do it, their personal information won't be made public. Any other advice, experiences or lessons learned that anyone can share would be greatly appreciated! Thanks everyone! FiremanDave
