Mike Tassano<p>I am not by nature prone to paranoia (you will have to trust me on this), but I -am- a <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/pessimist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pessimist</span></a>. Thanks to the current aroma from the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/RepublicanAdministration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RepublicanAdministration</span></a> though, <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/myDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>myDay</span></a> quickly moved to anger.<br>In my P. O box today was a (poorly copied) form asking me to provide 2 forms of identification, my phone number, and email address. I have had that box more than 20 years.<br>The poor guy at the desk responded to my rant politely. "Sorry, Mike. I had to do an audit of our records and over 400 box holders did not provide the required identification when they first rented their box."<br>Why did you do an audit?<br>"Well, the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/Patriot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Patriot</span></a> Act requires we know who actually uses the box."</p><p>So the first audit since 2002 just happens to be done in Week Three of the <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/NewEra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NewEra</span></a>. I will apologize to him tomorrow, but <a href="https://sfba.social/tags/today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>today</span></a> I am angry, suspicious, and paranoid.</p>
