I heard about this on the radio and was dumb-founded as to why the reporter alluded to the fact that it is common for most Iraqi's to carry large sums of money due to there lack of trust for banking institutions.
Isn't this just giving would be thieves the heads up on who to target?
And in relation, to having common sense and banking the money, it can be very difficult for one to change the way they go about there business when it is ingrained in you from such a young age that you trust no one (especially banks or the government for that matter) - obviously depending on country of birth.
