HAW HAW HAW HAW. Homeland Security aint gonna do any good trying to remove placards. <br /> <br />It is the ONE thing keeping trucking and rail transport of hazmat safe and enforcable. <br /> <br />If there is a fire in my town on a vehicle without placards and it has HAZMAT on board people will die and there will be loss of life and property and possibly months of recovery. <br /> <br />You can have a tanker leave a known rocket fuel manufactor and be observed/tracked and probably hit by terrorist with a RPG off the side of the road. Placards or not it is my firm position that anyone with any tatical sense will be able to locate and track vehicles with certain loads that are dangerous to human life and property. <br /> <br />I am so <br /> <br />[V][censored][soapbox] <br /> <br />Over the entire concept of removal of placards. That is one of the things that holds the training and education of our First Responders, Fire, Rescue and Drivers as well as companies involved in the business of hauling hazmat <br /> <br />I can type until my fingers fall off ranting about this subject but let me say this one thing: <br /> <br />"Go ahead and pass laws removing placards. Then sit back and watch people die and things get broken and lives shattered forever" I for one will never sign such a peice of paper.
