Please reference to the section in the First Amendment that you are referring to, along with the legal support that decision was based on ;)

Nothing clever here.  Please, move along.

Maybe because the cameras don't like the glare from his bald head and he needs the bifocals to find the teller. You ARE blond aren't you. :huh

Yeager,

Dude...

Since when is the clothing you wear in and on the property of a private business considered protected free speech?  Last I heard, banks and any other business can refuse service to anyone they want.

I admit it's a little strange that the feds are involved but this doesn't seem like a freedom of speech issue to me.  The feds are required to take a certain amount of action to protect banks, and as private businesses there simply don't seem to be any constitutional protections involved.

Not only that, try entering any government facility wearing clothing considered threatening, offensive, or lewd.  Guess what - not constitutionally protected.  You can stand outside wearing your hat and sunglasses all day.  As soon as you enter a facility that has specific security requirements that are significantly hampered by certain clothing choices, suddenly a dress code applies.

You might as well argue that your 2nd amendment right to bear arms is being trampled by you not being able to carry a loaded shotgun into that same bank, or into your city mayor's office for that matter.

Yea some things are going too far (such as the harassment photographers and tourists are getting when taking innocent photographs of public places, and the illegal arrests being made of people who videotape or photograph the public actions of uniformed police officers) but this one isn't one of them IMO.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

Haven't there been laws in place for a while now, barring people without shirts or wearing rollerskates from entry or service?

                            Of course there has. Any quality restaurant will also deny you entry if you walk in dressed as a bum. The simple fact is Banks are private property. They wont let you in if you try banking in speedos while barefoot so whats the difference?

I won't mind taking off hat/shades in bank as long as Muslims aren't allowed to have their driver's license pictures taken with veil/headdress on. That said, I work on bank security systems, amongst other things, and a LOT of the banks where you see a camera behind each teller window, have it zoomed such that your face takes up 1/3 of the picture seen on other end, usually at a monitoring center in another state---without the hat, etc, they can fax/email accurate pictures of the would-be thief to the cops in a minutes or 2..WITH the hat, etc....not so much
