As The 9/11 10th Anniversary Nears

As the 10th anniversary of 9/11 draws near, the Department of Homeland Security is thinking about an earlier terrorist attack. DHS has published a proposed rule to regulate the sale and transfer of ammonium nitrate, which was used in 1995 bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City. Under the proposed rule, anyone purchasing, selling or transferring more than 25 lbs. of the material would have to register with DHS. The agency would also check names against the terrorist database.

Why wouldn't they just check it against the farmer's database?

Because CIA are usually not farmers.
