I live in Baltimore, Maryland, and I used to think that Maryland was the name of my city and Baltimore was the name of my state! I also thought that you had to get searched when you crossed state boarders, but not when you crossed national boarders. Boy was I confused when we went to Pennsylvania to visit my grandparents!
