The story sounds a bit absurd but my view with Hussein is the USA could fall apart like the old USSR. We may see little things like this happening first. Then food shortages, riots by govt union workers wanting more benefits and pay - see Illinois yesterday.

I’m afraid that you may be on to something: it is entirely conceivable that a state (think California) will enact some sort of onerous regulation that will result in travellers to bring their own toilet paper—much like travellers did so when visiting the former Soviet Union. Add the federal government, and we have a real stew.
