While this pertains to highways, it can have an adverse impact on railroad   
   passengers and ordinary pedestrians, too.  Under the new law, you can be   
   arrested even if you're not carrying contraband.  The 'probable cause' to be   
   stopped is made easy, too.

   By the way, along these lines, would anyone know of a list that shows in what   
   states one is required* to carry identification while merely walking down the   
   street?

   make your life hell if you don't have ID.
