If you bought a bunch of fertilizer and diesel fuel, it would be noticed by the feds.

In an agricultural area? Both can be bought anonymously. Both are commonly bought in quantity here. I could take all my gas cans into town tomorrow and fill them with diesel, pay cash, never give my name. How could that be noticed when at least half the people here have diesel trucks and/or tractors? I don't use fertilizer for any purpose, so I don't know the quanities needed, but anyone could walk into the Agway and buy bags and bags here without raising an eyebrow or giving their name. Or a few at each Agway and attract even less notice. I don't know how that could be traced except after the fact.

If you bought a bunch of sudafed, it would be noticed by the locals.

THAT would be noticed, but as you say, at the local (like drugstore clerk) level. Meth labs are one of our biggest cottage industries here. Is sudfed the one they use in meth? I'm out of the loop on that.
