Interesting article in recent Forbes magazine the treasury is trying to kill off purchasing bonds. One comment they kept referring to was almost 90% of people bought them at banks instead of online. They suggested the TD was too cumbersome to use. I thought that was odd because I dont even online bank, yet I had no problem setting up the account and buying I Bonds. In fact I liked the security mechanisms in the system. Whether it makes it safer I have no idea, but it makes me think it does.
