Is this type of monitoring legal in the US when monitoring bank transactions in the US? Does it already happen in the US? Imagine the reaction if this had been the other way around, the damn Europeans spying on US bank transaction in the US.

Well, I believe transactions in the US are monitored. At least large cash withdrawals and deposits are. 5,000 or more is usually reported by the banks.
