The endless checking of papers, registering passports at hotels and train stations, carrying documents explaining why you have to go where you are going which has been part of life in unfree countries for years is something that most American notice, and are troubled by, immediately upon spending some time in an authoritarian country.
To increase the completeness and accuracy of the data, review of the immunisation records in the AMSWS clinical databases (Ferret, Pen Computer Systems, and Medical Director, Health Communication Network), supplemented by hand checking of paper-based medical records when discrepancies were noted, was also done for all children.
Then, a quick check of some papers.
That part of the country was supposedly a "free zone," and the men at first wonder why they have been detained, some thinking it is for a mere check of identity papers.
I try to do a spot check of the paper, at least three stories a day, in which I find anonymous sources used and I call the desk, usually the department head, that handled that story.
The Editor-in-Chief/Associate Editors will initially examine the manuscripts to check the suitability of papers.
I have seen government roadblocks, with random checks of citizens' papers, during visits to Turkey, Senegal and Bolivia.
In 1943, every male civilian of draft age had to reckon with spot checks of his papers.
