New Homeland Security directive

(U//FOUO) DHS/Office of Intelligence and Analysis and the Los Angeles Joint Regional Intelligence Center produced this note to alert first responders to the potential hazards posed by hydrogen sulfide gas because of a recent incident in Pasadena, California. The incident was a suicide, although it demonstrated the potential for easily produced hydrogen sulfide to be used as a chemical weapon in a terrorist attack.

I never knew Hydrogen sulfide gas was that easy to make.......What do all of you think, should this have been released to the public?

Its probably a precursor release so they can stop those kind of products being sold - to all the right wing terrorist extremists.

In truth - theres a lot more nasty stuff you can make rather than HS - it tends to disperse quickly outdoors and is unlikely to be very dangerous.

That makes sense....since the directive was directed at first responders, the highest risk must be in enclosed spaces.......
