Which line?  The one drawn a repressive and confining government?  the
guy wasn't hurting anyone.  Yes he was odd - fine, but he wasn't a
'dangerous' man except in the eyes of public officials and nuetered
journalists - IMO anyway.  As always, YMMV and YOMV.

It was against the law, yes.  I won't argue that point.  I *will* argue
that the law is too strict, ineffective, and short sighted.
