When you submit a bank statement to a consulate for a visa application, do they scrutinize your list of purchases?
I'm about to apply for a US tourist visa and one of the recommended documents is a bank statement for the past 3 months. My balance movements should be satisfactory and my purchase history is quite mundane. But, for the sake of the question, let's say I've been paying extensively by card in establishments of ill repute.
Would the US consulate check out each transaction on my statement? Or would they simply have a look at the closing balance and ignore the rest?

Most of the banks I know let you request a statement of assets, as described here for the swiss bank UBS: Statement of Assets. I don't know if it is enough for them, but you could give it a try by sending them only this statement. If it is not detailed enough, they will ask for the full bank statement.
