I must admit I was was caught out. Now I'm a little sad that I've been so detuned by the political climate of the day that I didn't immediately identify the satire. In most places I've travelled, "Your papers please" is not so subtle code for "bribe me before I impose some arbitrary penalty". Except when it isn't, in which case to suggest such an accommodation results, at minimum, in a good going over and the imposition of some arbitrary penalty. Thankfully I only fly over Arizona so I'll never have to decide.
