Pharmacists as cops

They've got a new law in the state of Louisiana.The nanny state is alive.The Times Picayune reports what's going on at your Louisiana drugstore:

Each Louisiana customer who wants the [cold]remedies must display a photo identification card and sign a log before buying the items, and people are limited to the amount they can acquire each month.

"They're making police out of us," said one Mid-City pharmacist who declined to let his name be published for fear that the store's owner would be annoyed with him. On his counter were a new loose-leaf notebook and a ballpoint pen.

What will the government think of next? How much longer before the food police tell to put back those Oreo cookies?
