Well, when I brought back the returns, they wanted a drivers license. Odd, considering it was a cash sale and I was holding the receipt.

"It's required by the Homeland Security Department" says the kid behind the register. Sorry. I need ID, and I have to enter it into the computer and forward it to the Homeland Security Office. The Terrorists are using this kind of thing to wash money."

I strongly suspect that this is not DHS policy - it would have to apply to *every* cash refund, regardless as to whether the underlying purchase was weapon related or not. We'd have heard a lot more about it if this were the case. For more gubmint nonsense on things that go bang, take at look at: http://www.premierreticles.com/ "Effective immediatly, US State Dept. regulations prohibit the export of any riflescope with a mil-dot reticle outside the United States."
