At long last, the House of Representatives have found a somewhat fitting purpose for the Department of Homeland Security - oversight of fertilizer.
Yeah, it does seem a little too easy, doesn't it? The bill, passed by a voice vote on Tuesday, requires producers, sellers, and some purchasers of ammonium nitrate to register with the Department of Homeland Security. Homesec will check fertilizer sales records against terrorist watchlists. Another important feature is civil liability protection for retailers who refuse to sell to customers.
Can't wait to see the signs in lawn and garden stores:
Management Reserves the Right not to Take Your Shit Simply Because We Won't Sell You any Shit!
Although, in hinsgith, it would have been awesome to see the ATF be rebranded as the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Fertilizer.
