Scary Excerpt:
"Wilson said that despite the legislature's intent in passing the law just two months after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, the text of the law is on his side.

'I understand the title of the statue is antiterrorism, but the statute is much more broad than that,' Wilson said. 'There's nothing in the statute that requires any organized terrorist effort. There's nothing in the statute that requires that these chemicals be used as a weapon.'"

Well, isn't that just wonderful! Okay, now before everyone jumps on my case saying I'm defending meth labs and dealers,(:eyes:) stop and think: Doesn't it make you the slightest bit uncomfortable that some county DA is trying to use the Patriot Act to prosecute local drug offenders? That sure as hell bothers me! What's next?

2. I saw this

and couldn't believe it. I knew the anti-drug zealots would latch onto this and use the PA. Next the insurance companies will be using this to deny medical claims. I live in Forsyth County - this is scary stuff
