Mon, 12:38: We just visited the incredible United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. At the entry security check, we were instructed to take a sip from our drink bottles.
I said: “That’s new.”
The security check woman said: “You would not believe the crazy stuff people try to bring in to destroy the exhibits.”
Holy shit. They want us to drink to prove it’s not paint, or worse. A sad reflection of the kind of museum it is, and that the sentiments that precipitated the Holocaust are far from relegated to the past.
