Interesting and probably closer to home than we think.

It got VERY close to home a few years ago when I lived in Pismo Beach. I noticed a newspaper story about a local man who was arrested in San Diego for buying "precursors to methamphetamine manufacture." It turned out the address was the house just behind mine.

The perp had enough volatiles stored there to level an entire city block if they'd exploded, police said. It turned out the guy was a former Cal Poly, SLO chemistry major. I think he's still doing time, but he's one of the few that was caught. Every week or two we'd read about raids on farms around Santa Maria, Paso Robles, etc. where the Mopes were arrested but never the masterminds.

This is one drug that surprisingly never made it big in CT when I was growing up.I still worry now though because I have two children entering their teens.This story just adds another reason to the already long list we have for getting our border security under control.

Sad.
