This is out of control:

On July 4 Nicole and Jeff Rank were at the West Virginia state capitol attending a tickets-only presidential visit -- officially not a campaign event. They had tickets, for which they were required to supply personal information including birthdates and Social Security numbers. The event was paid for with state and federal funds. The Ranks were in a crowd of people, many of whom were wearing pro-Bush t-shirts, but the Ranks' t-shirts read, "Love America, hate Bush." The Ranks concealed their shirts when they were admitted to the event, but when they later revealed their shirts they were asked to leave. They refused. They were handcuffed, removed from the event, and cited for trespassing.

Via Unfogged.
Apparently they've got Justice Scalia's bodyguards doing the security at Bush events now.
