Just how big can "big brother" get? Sure, maybe it's not a horrible idea but where does it stop?

You know what cracks me up, is that they tell you if you mix such and such together you can create a bomb. I wouldn't have known that in a million years if they didn't say in the article. And you wonder why people do the things that they do.

Obviously after 9/11 there is a threat of terrorism. I know that we need to take more precautions and all but along the lines of what PKIVortex said I think we're giving them ideas. The article just pointed out to whoever that those chemicals are available there. Like you I would of not known that those chemicals were neccesarily a bad combination. It really cracked me up one time when I went to a Wal-Mart in Williamsburg KY. They had this big poster on the front doors with pictures of all the items (all available at walmart pretty much) needed to make meth. I know they were going for the public service announcement but it was more like "don't forget the sudafed."

Again (from the article) they're not even sure if it's going to affect the Orlando parks. There are 10 million people a year who visit the Magic Kingdom alone. If the park needs to report its contents to the Department of Homeland Security in order to have the chance to make things just a little safer for them, I'd say it's a small price to pay.

There was a threat of terrorism before 9/11, during 9/11, after 9/11, yesterday, today, and there will be a threat of terrorism tomorrow. I have said it in a couple of other threads, and I will say it one last time: The journalistic credo, Your right to know supersedes your right to exist. One last thing, putting info like that in an article I do not think is that big of a deal. The ones who are going to use some thing like that, already knows how to do it. Any one who would just get the items and mix them using the info in the article, would most likely end up dead.

It's getting rediculous. All the rules in the world won't stop a terrorist attack. The best thing anyone can do is be aware of their surroundings, and report suspicious activity from individuals. I don't think creating another chemical accountability sheet will stop that.

That Credo is actually an Old, Old, Old Gary Burbank line.

This isn't the legislation that worries me. HR 1955 is the one that is worrisome.

Dissent = Treason

Dangerous, hazardous chemicals! So that's what they use to make the ghosts in the Haunted Mansion!

The more people worry about terrorist attacks, the more they (terrorists) have succeeded. This situation is almost like the ol' witch hunts in Salem. Word of witch craft gets spread around and the whole town tears itself down. Even more recent like Joseph McCarthy and the accusations of communism during the cold war. Also, the good old nuclear fall out drills at schools and bomb shelters. If anyone were wise they would study the past and see these, and at least put some logic behind their panic. Yes, I believe that terrorism, unlike witchcraft, is real and it scares the crap out of me. Yet, I don't find it necessary to blow it out of proportion and drive everyone crazy; thats what bothers me about the media.

As long as the Rev. Deuteronomy Skags does not say it, then it is credible......Ma.............
