The first sequence for the 2002 issue plate ranges from PBA to SLZ and from TAA to least to the XQ
range. (SLZ to SZZ was reserved for overruns on the 1995 series) Many three letter combinations
with negative connotations, such as "SEX" or "WAR," were deliberately skipped, along with "SAM,"
which was reserved for the sample plates. Although some states had skipped over "POO", this
combination was not skipped, and neither was "POS" (Although I doubt there are any political
motivations behind it, the entire "PO" range was assigned to Douglas County).
