The Tolls would operate based on a sort of "EZ Pass" System which forces downtown drivers to buy a pass (For a heavy fee), pass an extensive background check, and pay a per mile charge for driving in Manhattan. Out of towners would have to stop at a toll booth and then get questioned by NYPD, this would be similar to legally entering the border at a us coustoms checkpoint (Customs may man the booths initally as NYPD gets trained)

Whoa. I did not realize it was that bad.
Not that I have a desire to visit NYC, but I'm a bit surprised that if I visit NYC, that I will be treated like I'm entering another country.
Sigh, it's true, the "papers please" scenario is looming one step closer.
