I don't know about you guys, but I'd like to see someone who's against RFID who isn't using the "it's a sign of the End Times!" as a reasoning for it. Maybe, you know, someone could be logical about it and bring up the privacy/"Big Brother" issues it could cause? I'd find it much more credible than religious texts, myself.
You bring up a few good points, actually. If it's possible to make a methamphetamine in a safe manner without employing use of household chemicals and/or cold medicines (which, to my limited knowledge, there is), then I'd wholly support that avenue as well.
Problem is, seeing how the government views drugs at the moment, that will probably never see the light of day. As an aside, I recall hearing about there also being pharmaceutical alternatives for drugs such a meth, ecstasy, and acid in Australia, but I would take that with a grain of salt unless either someone else or myself can dig up a solid source to that claim.
I guess I should just recind my previous comment, really.
We already have this as a requirement in Oregon as well. While I don't support the Patriot Act, I wouldn't mind seeing this particular legislation passed, if only because it seems to be helping in controlling the amount of meth labs around here. It's been a good while since I heard of any being shut down/exploding, so that means two things:
a) There are fewer labs thanks to the restrictions
or
b) The police just aren't finding them
I suppose it depends on whether you're an optimist or a pessimist, though. Heh.
