Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said his department will be issuing new guidance to retailers this week giving them pointers on how to spot potential terrorists among their customers by looking at what they’re buying. While saying the government cannot prohibit sales of some everyday materials, Mr. Johnson said retailers should be trained to look for anyone who buys a lot from what he described as a “long list of materials that could be used as explosive precursors.” He said it was an extension of the “If you see something, say something” campaign launched by his predecessor, former Secretary Janet Napolitano, which tries to enlist average Americans to be aware of their immediate environment. “We can’t and we shouldn’t prohibit the sale of a pressure cooker. We can sensitize retail businesses to be on guard for suspicious behavior by those who buy this kind of stuff,” Mr. Johnson said...

Pretty easy to spot. Look for the creepy guy wearing a T-shirt with “I like ISIS” on the front and “Hope and Change” on the back!
What’s on the list that we should be stocking up on?
“Pool Shock” releases chlorine gas when wet. Walmart stocks it in season. A friend warned that when mixed with brake fluid stand back as nasty things happen faster than you can stand back.
Me? I buy it to shake (a 1/2 tsp or so) in the toilet cuz it the chlorine kills the creepy black slime that forms a ring. A package from WallyWorld lasts a long time.
chap stick?
Hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, bleach ...
But that’s how we de-skunk the dog. And the bleach is for sanitizing dairy equipment.
However, I’m probably still on a terrorist watch list.

“Attention shoppers, suicide vests now on aisle 5.”
Red in Blue PA has a good start on this. See reply #66.
I saw an elderly white woman buying a pressure cooker at Walmart!
You and I think alot alike. Paying cash instead of using the debit card sure makes balancing the check book easier.
That needs to be reported to Jeh Johnson immediately!
How soon until the purchase of an Ayn Rand book, a Rush Limbaugh book, or a Bible gets you on the No-Fly List, and the Terror watchlists??
That’s a lot of bread.
My old pressure cooker still works (barely) but I will not order a new one.
I’d keep in touch with that guy. He might come in handy. lol
Blue light special!
What in the world do you need all that bread for, citizen?
I think cash is best too...but then again I’m not a terrorist so my buying habits should be none of their business...
Unless the photo you posted of the person with Downs Syndrome in response to an earlier post mentioning the word “morons” happens to be a photo of someone in your immediate family who has provided you with written permission to ridicule him and all those born with similar genetic disorders, it would be greatly appreciated if you never posted anything similar here again.
Thank you.
