Some things were made permanent under subsequent laws (or at least extended). For example, financial reporting for people depositing "large" amounts of cash. I think it started out at $10k under the patriot act. Now I think it's $5k. That is a good bit of cash, but it could easily be made selling a used car or something.

Unless it changed very recently, I'm pretty sure it's still 10k.

And that wasn’t from the Patriot act, it was from the Bank Secrecy laws of the 70s

I don't know where I saw the limit change - maybe I got that part confused.

The patriot act did expand the bank secrecy act.
