Just heard from a friend who returned from a fishing trip to the Bahamas
Sunday. Traveled with drivers licence and birth certificate. C&I at West
Palm is cautioning everyone that effective January 1, 2005 US citizens
MUST have a passport for re-entry. Photo ID and birth certificate will
no longer be accepted. It supposedly applies to all countries not just
the Bahamas.

Seems to be big news on the sport fishing forums but I don't find
anything about it on the State Department sites and the New Orleans
Passport office doesn't have a clue. Can anyone find a way to verify this?
