Key West is the southern most point in the continental US and 90 miles from Cuba. Tourism is the primary industry in the Keys. One holiday weekend in the early 1980's Immigration set up what they called a checkpoint (in actuality a roadblock) at the two points where the road connects to the mainland. Everyone was required to present identification to pass. Rumor had it that two of the individuals caught in the 5+ hour delay that was created were the wife and son of the areas congress critter. Two days latter the head of the INS office in Miami was replaced. The stunt was never repeated. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack O'Neill Systems Administrator / Systems Analyst jack@germanium.xtalwind.net Crystal Wind Communications, Inc.
