Today's moral: Don't pay your bills

A man in Maryland was arrested for paying his bill with (gasp) money. Full story here.

Funny, in a ludicrous, this-is-how-my-tax-dollars-are-spent kind of way.

However, the closing comment is disturbing.
Commenting on the incident, Baltimore County police spokesman Bill Toohey told the Sun: "It's a sign that we're all a little nervous in the post-9/11 world."
Apparently, Mr Toohey sees as equivalent the passing of (allegedly) counterfeit money and the murder of 3000 people.
