QUOTE: Originally posted by edbenton High Iron you nailed it right on the head. W is not interested in security all he wants to do is turn this country into a police state. No trials guilty into proven innocent and while awaiting your trial you can be held without access to an attorney no bail and be watched over by some very nice people aka the FBI. Placards allow the first responders on scene to no what they are dealing with and how to combat if they brought the book with them. The DOT requirements on hazmat rqiure that thedriver have the bill of lading within arms reach at all times and if the driver is not in the seat then the BOL must be displayed in plain view. The fact that now you need to undergo a background check is distrubing though. The fact is all trucking companies already do a background check before they even hire a driver. [soapbox] Another onw of Wubba' s ideas to that mean to take away our freedoms.

QUOTE: Originally posted by tree68 Gee, I went to a hazmat awareness class given by CSX, and guess what? We learned what type of cargo is most likely in what type of car! Anybody worth their salt can tell an LP car from a corn syrup car... And the book they handed out in class was not marked with anything that indicated it was sensitive, security wise. I have no doubt that you can find all sorts of information about car types and cargos in any number of places on-line. This is what happens when people who live in ivory towers set policy for people who really do the job.

QUOTE: Originally posted by mikeyuhas Hey Guys, I'll admit I'm not a fan of many of the tactics used by the Department of Homeland Anxiety, but this whole discussion seems a little fishy. I'd be indebted if someone could post a link to the actual proposal, if there really is one. That way we could all read the proposed regulation and make more rational arguments against it.
