Considering the laws that financial institutions have to follow concerning money movement, this is completely unsurprising.

It's like the guy went to the airport and joked about having bombs in his shoes while waiting in the TSA line. it's just kind of stupid.

Oh, sorry dude, you thought you could just name-drop an identified terrorist group in your financial transactions and someone would not pay attention to it? Like you thought we were all so smart that we decided it would be stupid to look for blatant red flags on transactions, because of course no one could possibly use words like "Al Quaeda" or "ISIS" unless it was a joke?
