gardeners now as potential terrorists? I don't know if we're talking past one another here or not...

What's the definition of 'terrorist' now to make the watch list? I don't know, but sometimes I wonder if the Pirate Crew is on the list... some people in government have no sense of humor.

My concern that this ideas stinks comes from the trends, or lack thereof, of fertilizer bombs being made in the US, even in Norway. Yes, there have been incidents, but that Franklin statement "...little bit of freedom...little bit of security" keeps running through my mind as a refrain.

anyone could make explosives out of charcoal, a bag of sulfur-- another ag product, and potassium nitrate-- another fertilizer, but also used to make corned beef pink, and salami pink, also...nitre is naturally found in, for instance, Pennsylvania-- fairly near fallingwaters, as a matter of fact!

Are we talking past one another, or am I misunderstanding in some way?

By the way, did the Padres pull it out last night?

I thought it was interesting the Norwegian fertilizer supplier acted after the fact.  No watch list there, of course.  

I am much more concerned about the 4000 unpaid FAA employees at present.  Flight tomorrow a.m.

I do understand the concern with the FAA issue...

Doesn't mean good, just much better. Calling the doctors in the morning to find out if I need a change in medicine, though.
