>> Yet, according to a Reuters report, the stores of ammonium nitrate here never tripped the scrutiny of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which apparently was unaware of the plant’s existence.

Accepting, for the moment, that any "investigation" undertaken by Huffington Post is itself subject to question.

So, you want more regulation by an agency that CANNOT EVEN PROVIDE A LIST OF WHAT YOU WANT IT TO REGULATE.

Don't you think it would be more sensible for DHS to make a public statement that says, "If you live near a fertilizer plant it may time for your community to assemble and ask a few questions"?

Keeping in mind that DHS couldn't even follow up on a terrorist when the Russian government was saying, "You need to keep an eye on this guy -- he's dangerous."

It is a real problem with government that it gives people a false sense of security that is far more dangerous than the threats it is supposed to be dealing with.
