Greetings guys, this is my first post here, but I'm glad I found the site, I ordered a few bits and pieces, over a fair period of time from this site,
Mg turnings, Al powder, red P, I2, and I got most of my large quantities of solvents from KNO3, they always shipped promptly, BUT, and this is a big
but, about 9 months ago, some so-called "chemical liason officer", who seemingly, was just your regular joe-blow copper (I am located in the UK by the
way).
Later, I did time in Forrest Bank, and Strangeways on remand, just because I had an old, decrepit firework, taped together to stop it falling to
pieces, lying in the bottom of a drawer, because the filth spotted my chemicals, and glassware, they crapped bricks, and I now find myself charged
with possession of a modified explosive device, after my family having been lied to, and kicked out of the house at an unsociable hour in the morning.
And seemingly, the mere possession of 2 50ml bottles of acetone, one of which unopened, and alongside a large selection of organic chemicals, Pt
catalysts, etc. that have no conceivable use in explosive manufacture, at least, nothing commonplace I can think of off the top of my head, I also had
the grave misfortune, to have around half a bottle of 9% household H2O2 solution, plus a small quantity of 3% soln.
The result? my being accused of synthing TATP
TATP? with 3/9% aq. peroxide, I pointed out, they must be having a laugh, albeit one at my expense
This, has some relevance, to the "liason officer", although there are a few other circumstances, but this just goes to show, the sort of chemophobia,
and hysteria infecting the general populace in the UK at the moment. |
