Western Union tracking?

Hi everyone,

I just have a question regarding using WU for sending payments internationally.
Does anyone know much about the inner workings of WU? My concern is that if I'm making frequent visits there, sending money overseas, if they track that, and are obliged by any law or mutual understanding with the authorities to report anyone who makes does frequent transactions overseas.
I used the same WU location every time, which probably doesn't matter because I'm sure they're all linked to one central database, but do you think this is cause for any conccern?
I don't want it to appear as though I'm a drug dealer because I tend to do my purchases in a blitz, assuming some may be seized by customs and also so I can get it over with and have the amount that I need to last me a long time, rather than live with the anxiety of possibly running out of my medication.
For example, if two money orders were sent in early August, would one be a fool to make a third before the month's end?

When I see that an IOP is getting raves, and is reliable, I tend to want to order right away in case the situation changes, since some go out of business rather quickly. My first instinct is to run to WU and make the order. But I'm having second thoughts now.

I'd really appreciate any feedback you guys can provide before I do anything potentially stupid.

Thanks and I hope everyone's getting through the week relatively unscathed.
