We’re not talking just blasting agent either.
How serious is the ATF taking the theft? They’re offering a $5,000 reward. Their warmth and sincerity given the theft occurred with forced entry makes me feel all sorts of warm and fuzzy inside. Doubly so given the propensity of the government, not to mention the BATFE, is more than willing to throw civil rights and liberties to the wind.
[Sarcasm] But remember, it’s me and you that they need to restrict. The government could never fail us. [/Sarcasm]

WE NEED MOAR EXPLOSIVES CONTROLS! Who let these…uh… Federal… uh… Government… LOOK, A UNICORN!
I understand the need to secure explosive materials from theft, I really do. But besides the fact that this (if it gets legs, which it won’t) will be seized on to justify stricter controls, I’m guessing that this will NOT come back on the agency. Contrast that with the expected response should a private licensed party (such as Joe, or a demolition contractor) lose 500 lbs of explosives- a high likelihood of losing their licensure AND criminal charges. Kind of a good example of our baseline trust in the rule of law these days.
Yup, that second comment about Joe was exactly what I was thinking of as I wrote this.
