    We live in an era of unprecedented passport checks, visa quotas, and detention centers, a world that regulates human movement more tightly than at any other point in history.

    Uh... internal passports anyone?

    Rest of post is ok.

    @gerikson @Lessthan3 A russian team is visiting France in the 70s. The negotiations are going well, but slow and the weekend comes up. The french offer to take them down to Nice to see the sea.

    - ok but who will arrange the internal passports?
    - the what?
    - and we need fuel allowance tickets, and its late friday...
    - what now?
    - and a road permit?
    - what are you talking about? We get into the car, drive down, enjoy the beach, came back!
