    this is pretty regular. It happens a lot with people who order large amounts of “suspicious chemicals” Styropyro got a visit from, i believe the ATF, might be wrong it’s been a minute since i’ve watched that video, for procuring chemicals that can be used for nefarious purposes in mass quantities.

    Similar things have happened with farmers, (fertilizer can often be used in improvised bombs) You will almost certainly see something similar if you directly threaten the government, though it’s usually "hey uh, don’t do this, this is bad, also we’re going to make sure you aren’t a terrorist real quick.

        well i mean diesel isn’t that weird. Anyone running a construction business also has a lot of stored diesel fuel.

        You’d be more concerned if someone had lots of gasoline, but even then that’s not a massive concern.

        It’s not usual in the normal populous i suppose, but then again, there are a lot of things that aren’t so.

          But they don’t usually have tons of fertilizers, too.
