    I'm from MA & I hadn't heard about this. I'm finding it hard to even type a rational comment about this because I am so angry.

    I say this every.single.time I read about some new aspect of what our country has become - I truly can not believe this is happening. I can't believe so many companies & so many people have been co-opted into the Must Protect Our Country At All Costs (from illegal immigrants, from terrorists, from the other, from whomever) mindset. If you had told me 10 years ago that Americans would allow illegal searches, constant ID checks, surveillance cameras everywhere, & an Executive branch that does whatever the hell it wants to, I would have thought you were nuts.

    And now they are refusing drinks to people at concerts without valid stamps on their passports. I'm just sitting here shaking my head.

    You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them. - Ray Bradbury
