I'm in the open reading room of the National Library of Estonia. Probably one of the most heavily guarded sites in Estonia. To get into the inner sanctum of reading rooms, first, you must check your coat and your purse if it is "dangerously" large. Then you have to scan your library card (30 kroons for 3 years) before passing a guard and a metal detector. The guard makes sure that your card is current and then he eyes your lap-top bag suspiciously until you show him that you aren't packing heat. I'm led to believe that this process is safe, secure and efficient. I've been turned back before for wearing a light blazer and carrying my tote-bag with my wallet, notebook, and notes inside.
A crazy lady is sitting across the room alternatively mumbling and shouting to herself. She's wearing a jacket.
