Hardly anyone use cash to pay for everything.
We have direct bank debit for many bills.
We use ATM card or debit card to pay for our grocery.
We use debit or credit card to book air tickets, and pay for online purchase.
If a terrorist group wants to cripple the economy of the whole country, the easiest way is to cripple the banking system.
Once they can do that, and all systems stop accepting debit or credit card, and ATM machines do not accept ATM card, everyone will suffer.
If you go to the bank to withdraw money, and the tellers cannot access the banking system because system is down, that is almost the end of the world.

What are you trying to say? Should we stop using cards? Should we stop using banks? Should we keep our money under the mattress? Why worry about the terrorists? Bankers alraedy cotrol the world and our money.

At least you know how the bankers work, and you still have access to your money.
When Greece imposes capital control last year, that is terrible.
Hard to imagine what will happen when terrorists stop us from taking out our money, and they wipe out our banking records.
It is fortunate that terrorists are not so high-tech yet.

@sugartoes With all due respect you are too far off with the conspiracy theory. Besides I am 80 years old and don't have a dime which is the way I planned it. I spend my money as I get it and enjoy life doing it instead of worrying about 'things'!
