I think Congress needs to just clamp back down on the circus that is the DC government. Because it's been pretty clear relaxing the reigns has allowed all sorts of shenanigans to occur. I laugh every time I hear the cries for statehood. The idiots can't even manage their affairs now let alone have any hope of doing so with the full responsibility of being in charge of everything.

Passsing through = not stopping for anything that doesnt support your intention to "pass through" to a destination where its legal for you to posess.
Stopping for fuel or a pee break is legit
Stopping to go shopping or perform business not pursuent to getting to your destination doesnt qualify
FOPA is very specific and been litigated a pile of times
Your friend unfortunately fell victim to a situation that we all fear
It sucks
Its expensive
Its a function of us failing to hold elected officials responsible for this stupidity
Hopefully we can make some progress in coming years to eliminate these bad laws that protect no one and only ruin the lives and reputation of peaceful people
