I think, on some level, following the state line is easy internally because it is effectively giving up responsibility for your own and others actions. There's one or two sources of information, and doing what's right or wrong has an accessible choice that doesn't have the same moral weight if it fails and doesn't work.

If you want to truck outside that, your failures are your own.

(At least psychologically, that's how it feels)
