Our bank has a sign on the door with pictures of three people;--each has their head inside a circle with a diagonal line through it--like a NO SMOKING sign. One is wearing sunglasses, one is wearing a baseball cap, and one is wearing a knitted cap.

We, now, apparently, are not allowed to enter the bank unless you r features can be totally viewed. I feel this is simply one more increment of tightness being applied to normal freedoms we once took for granted.

I asked if the sign was serious, and was told "Yes." I then asked the teller, "Would it be alright for me to still keep my pants on!?" She didn't see the humor...

"She didn't see the humor..."

Wear a ski mask or balaclava or hallowe'en mask. The signs don't prohibit them....

And I can't get into the federal building or onto an airplane without a special ID to prove the steel in my leg isn't a bomb. As if!

Have you tried paying for eBay shipping at home (via PayPal) if you're sending it to another country? They won't let you use any of the less expensive options, and you have to have extra information to ship at all. Basically, if you want to ship cheap, you walk into the post office where the camera gets your face when you hand your cash over to the clerk. Otherwise you pay $10 to $15 more. "Homeland Security"--such a farce.
