We hear Deutsche Bank’s super-suped-up security extends beyond just the beefy armed guards patrolling the street outside its headquarters at 60 Wall. Yesterday apparently a consultant who was scheduled to attend a meeting at the bank was denied entry because his name appears on the federal “no fly” list.
“It was the most intense security I've seen, except for maybe the Israeli consulate,” a source who was present when the consultant was denied entry tells DealBreaker.
In our experience, security measures vary a good deal from bank to bank. You can practically just walk into some, while others like Deutsche Bank are locked down tighter than the Pentagon. We're curious about security where you work. Leave a message in the comments section below describing security measures at your bank or at banks you’ve visited.

Good Lord. Every Muslim fanatic, IRA bomber, and anti-globalist freak from here to Mumbai wants to bring down the West's financial system, and you guys complain about the inconvenience of bank security guards. Boo fucking hoo. Poor you. Tell us, were the DB security guards big, beefy, shaven-headed, Germanic-looking thugs, too? Good grief. Grow a pair. Here's some news for you: for those of us who either invest with DB or work with them in some way or who have an interest in the continued viability and existence of the markets, security is a GOOD THING.
P.S. What the hell is your "consultant" (you know, the one whose friend seems to be acquainted with Israeli consulate security procedures) doing on a no-fly list? That is the question.

That no fly list is retarded - I have a friend with a very common, very WASPY name, and that name is on it. Can't check in online, get searched everytime.

That is a picture of the J.P. Morgan Building..

Which Deutche Bank bought in 2001.

Junius (Jr. or Sr.?) You are wrong. That's Deutsche.
But while we're on the subject, I should point out that the only true men left on the street who haven't gotten soft over models and bottles work in the only real BUILDING left on the street, where our security guards carry guns and we routinely have SWAT team members stand post within our hallowed iron fence.

Hmm, and will the last specialist off the floor please get the lights. Deutche has had hard core security at that location for the last 4 years. Occasional comedy, and if the consultant was not beaten or stripper I like it.

The real and most important question is, how did Deutsche Bank obtain the information from the purported "confidentiaL no-fly list?"

Look for the terrorists on the pilots' list.
