"Zone of death"

So apparantly there is such a thing as a perfect crime, as long as you commit it in the area of the USA where the law doesn't exist. I enjoy the sense of humour of the law professor who wrote up a paper on it:

"Say that you are in the Idaho portion of Yellowstone and you decide to spice up your vacation by going on a crime spree," Kalt writes in a forthcoming paper for the Georgetown Law Journal.

"You make some moonshine, you poach some wildlife, you strangle some people and steal their picnic baskets."


To steal a joke from the message board K frequents - Hey, Boo boo! Shouldn't it be "pic-i-nic baskets", though?
