Apparently, it doesn't apply at Boston South Station either, but two asshole MBTA rent-a-cops refused to accept that I'd made a simple mistake of jurisdiction and proceded to violate the fourth amendment and ask for my name, social security number, and mother's maiden name!

Heh, I would have assumed they were identity thieves immediately if they weren't in uniform, and even then, I tracked them down and demanded ID from them to prove they were really cops.

Of course, they also asked me what country my great-grandparents were from, why I said I was here in the US in February when I had a museum ticket proving I was in Europe in July, why I hadn't inexplicably mentioned the bullet train in Japan when I said I was a railfan, where my passport was currently located, and who won the world series in 1959. (I didn't know where all of my various great grandparents came from until I asked out of curiousity while describing this encounter later, they may have been confused by a ticked from a French museum dated 2/07/06 or July 2nd by European conventions but February 7th by American, I hadn't mentioned the bullet train because it would have been wildly out of context, my passport was at home because I was in Boston, not Paris, and I made the last one up. If they'd really asked me, I would have said: "Not the Red Sox.")
