Is it true people are being denied access to bank accounts and credit?

I haven't come up against anything like having my card blocked based on what I was purchasing as of yet ( i.e. firearms)  I have however had my card cut off as sort of a pre-emptive security measure. When I was last buying a new computer, all in components, they put a halt on my card until they could contact me and verify that the myriad expensive purchases in the same day and from varied locations were actually made by me. It was very annoying when I went to pay for a meal and got denied.. but on the other hand it's good they they were looking out.. sort of.

Chase recently reduced the credit limit on my accounts (I had a couple, one personal and a couple for two businesses). They gave a bunch of excuses, but the bottom line is they are afraid of the economy.
