The passport law is a reasonable action on the border. Currently the fastest way through our local border, north of Seattle on I-5, is to have a Nexus card, because you skip the line of cars, and the next fastest is to have a passport in the regular line. A passport for crossing our southern border is long overdue, IMHO.
Mandatory use of Passports will only be an inconvenience the first time for citizens. To get a passport, fill out the form, get the picture, pay the fee, and wait a bit. A little planning now can make it easy to take those spur of the moment trips to see our friends above the parallel. Getting yourself a passport is a good idea.
BTW: this topic may deserve it's own thread ;)
