Yes there was a raid made on a ranchers home here in Oregon by the Douglas county sheriffs department and the rancher and his family were not even home so the officers drove through his gate with an armored truck battered his door down with a battering ram ramsacked his home and litterly destroyed everything inside kicked the door down to his grand daughters bedroom and turned everything inside upside down and they found absolutely nothing and this raid was carried out because he bought a gallon of iodine at a farm store.For the ones who don't know why a rancher would buy a gallon of 7% iodine when you raise animals when a new baby is born the first thing you do is iodine their navel and this keeps them from getting White Muscle disease which is in the soil and is transmitted to the newborn through their navel.7% iodine is used for many things on animals because of its searing power.Iodine according to the article in the paper it is used in meth labs,and the cold tablets are used to make meth.Devilmaster answered this very throughly in his comments.One other thing I failed to mention after this raid the officers left this residence in shambles,door open, gate open with absolutely no security.Amos and littlehawk wanted to know what my question was and I guess is how can you buy 30 tons of a product load it into semi truck and haul it into the USA without causing a red flag when the drug enforcement officers know that it wil be use to make drugs and then a rancher buy 1 gallon of 7% iodine and his home is raided and nearly destroyed.One person doesn't believe this happened here in Oregon but anyone with a computer can contact the Roseburg News Review located here in Roseburg Oregon and read the entire article.
