re: #470 Mostly sane, most of the time.
To go on the WH tour, you have to get tickets from your congressman, then you can take nothing more than a cell phone and keys, and no, they don’t provide storage facilities if you happen to be a tourist and toting a backpack because you are from, you know, out of town.
Don’t you also have to have some form of ID on you? I’d think they’d want a driver’s license or some way of knowing who you are.
