	You can make all the jokes you want but since I was born in Wash DC
my passport has as the birthplace "District of Columbia". It took
several trips to the middle east to find out why I have one hour
interviews at the airports. It seems that the world at large has never
heard of the "District of Columbia" and assumes this is the country of
Columbia.
	Next time I get my passport renewed I will request that they list
birthplace as "Washington DC" with an explanantion that "District of Columbia"
is assumed to be "Columbia" ergo I am suspect...
	Sitting at an airport while they fetch the N'th security guard, or
at the Taba (Israel/Egypt) border while I am questioned is no fun at all.
