(EDIT: Top half of post moved to new thread per Lokrian's request. -Aristotle)

Back to the thread topic, I have heard hints at a possible magnetic card for frequent border crossers, sort of like how some people prepay and get a pass for toll roads. For towns who are right on the border and have enjoyed open border practices for so long, it really does seem redicuclous to close them down in this manner. I hope they work out the kinks in this system, because the towns themselves sort of count on that cross border openess for their economies.
