While watching one of the many “real estate” themed shows on cable a few days ago. I noticed that as someone was closing on a house, in Las Vegas BTW, she had to sign some “Patriot Act” document during the escrow process.

What is this document?
What’s in it?
When did Homeland Security attach itself to the home buying process?
And what are the ramifications of not signing this document?
