I believe there are lawsuits pending against a nearby developer after the Army Corps of Engineers went and drew a hypothetical "blast zone" on maps. (I think my home wound up in the outermost circle that would have resulted in just broken windows).
This even held up development of a badly needed shopping mall nearby as the endless debate over the Suburban Propane fear factor continued.
I hope they lock these jerks up for a long time.
Not enough info. But I do indeed have gasoline, fertilizer and a match. Do you think I'll be locked up?
The fear mongering labeling continues. I suppose if you're right up close the explosion of a propane tank is as bad as a nuke. Next they'll arrest kids for using their fingers as pretend guns (no wait we've gone past that insanity checkpoint already).

That's a WMD in my book. Especially considering it'd probably kill a large proportion of all the residents in Elk Grove, a Sacramento suburb that now numbers about 100,000 people. After 9/11, I'd hope they would put an anti-aircraft battery in down there.
Geezuz, the Charles Manson apocalypse scenario all over again.
