Federal Reserve to Remove Bank Reserve Requirements?

Looks like the same bright lights who created the ideas of no money down on home mortgages and "you tell us what you earn - wink, wink", are at it again, this time at the Federal Reserve. Capital requirements for banks? What for?
Look
here.

Now would you want to put your savings in a bank that didn't have any capital in reserves? Isn't fractional reserve banking already a shaky proposition when banks start to have less than 20% in reserve capital?

It's just another sign of the Alice in Wonderland thinking that is taking us further off the surface of this planet and closer to much bigger financial chaos.
