Everytime I leave United States, I remind myself "I am not in US and must abide by laws and regulations of country where I travel." As US military brat we travelled many places, we met people all over the globe that sought freedom we so readlily enjoy.
Several years ago, we had an intern from The Gambia, where I work. He was amazed that he could travel from New Orleans to Dallas without seeking government permission. Also, he commented that police that he encountered were not checking everyone's official documents, and were both friendly and helpful. Food for thought, world travellers...
