But alas, how would Washington operate otherwise? So we tie a local crime item inside an already-controversial antiterrorism bill. Even if it's good-intentioned, I feel it's a bit sneaky to do it this way....but that's the norm for Congress......rf Patriot Act Includes Crackdown on Meth Use By LAURIE KELLMAN Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) -- Suffer from springtime allergies? You could be among the first affected by the USA Patriot Act poised for final congressional passage this week. Besides terrorism, the bill takes aim at the production of methamphetamine, a highly addictive drug that cannot be manufactured without a key ingredient of everyday cold and allergy medicines. The bill would impose new limits next month for how much relief a person can buy over the counter. And beginning Sept. 30, it'll take a flash of ID to buy that medication. < snip > http://tinyurl.com/obr9y ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lists-ip () insecure org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
