Lynn, I don't know what search words to put in, and I am uncomfortable doing 
such a search anyway; but there were some types of restrictions put on 
fertilizer/diesel sale after OKC.  And, you do need registration in any state 
to sale fertilizer products.  If I went to home depot with a ryder truck and 
tried to buy a a couple of hundred bags of nitrate fertilizer , I don't think 
I would make it to the diesel station to feel up the b*rrels, without being 
pulled over.

  I'm not saying that is necessarily bad, on its face; it was just an 
example, like the sudafed (which I think is stupid; the meth heads still make 
all the want; the price just went up , so the violence went up-  A mexican 
gang beheaded another 8-10 people in Tijuana this weekend; it's not even a 
big deal, anymore
