Census workers to carry identification in neighborhoods

I worked for the 2000 Census, and it was one of the sweetest gigs I’ve ever had. Fantastic pay, flexible hours, and best of all: they gave me a parking pass that let me park anywhere except a fire line.  They also gave me this little black Census bag that couldn’t be taken from my person or opened, even by a federal judge. I remember thinking to myself that a drug dealer could have a pretty sweet life once every ten years.
