Alicia Jessop had crossed state lines for this moment.
The Los Angeles law professor just finished a work trip to Vermont when she decided to rent a car and drive to the Maine coast to fulfill her childhood goal of tasting a traditional lobster roll. She shelled out $21.50 for it and was preparing to take a quintessential New England photo amid a backdrop of clear blue skies and a gleaming white lighthouse.
And then an unwelcome intruder intervened.
