This "arrest" sequence from Kafka's #TheTrial has epitomized #DueProcess violations for 100+ years. Sadly, it reads *just like* a 2025 encounter between @TSA & travelers w/ cash or various law-enforcement agencies (@DEAHQ, @CBP, etc.) conducting interdiction for #CivilForfeiture.
"After all, [Joseph] K. lived in a state governed by #law, there was universal peace, all statutes were in force; who dared assault him in his own lodgings?". #Kafka #TheTrial

45, maybe 46, but I can't remember whether we went to Cincinnati on my family's midwest baseball roadtrip when I was ~12; would need to check photo albums. Haven't been to Jacksonville, Buffalo, El Paso, or Honolulu. Don't think I've been to Sacramento or San Jose as an adult.
