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.

Hmmm, sounds an awful lot like the Gestapo to me.

Sady, those who fail to learn history are doomed to repeat it and it looks like we're the ones repeating it.
