Geoff,
...
Well, if that is the general German attitude about the veracity of
documentation, I
can understand why they might feel a need to compel documentation .... They
are a thorough people. Apparently, they both read and believe the
documentation, scary as that thought is.
... I can understand why Germans might feel differently about it.

P.S. It is not my intention to slander Germans. This was an actual
experience that I
had, and it seems to be to be illustrative in light of the legislation Geoff
mentioned in his initial post.
