Dave, The following might be suitable for posting on ip. Joe
A cache of TNT
found in Manila and ammonium nitrate fertilizer
found in London, were likely to be used in terrorist attacks.
Apropos of the warning from The FBI and the DHS about attacks in the U.S.
Congress should mandate the use of chemical tags to show the source of
TNT and ammonium nitrate. Such tags would serve
the same purpose as black box recorders after a plane crash.
Indeed, I'm surprised congress has not already legislated
such a requirement.
