A Meth Lab Exploded Inside a Government Building

A Meth Lab Exploded Inside a Government Building
Wow!! They had a meth lab at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Shame on them. I wonder if there are any other meth labs in other institutes around the country? So they use their equipment to make pseudoephedrine and meth. That's just shameful. So that's how the future of American science looks like. Instead of reaching other galaxies we will inject meth.

It was the security guard.

That is rather funny.

Of course, it looks like the guard was trying to cook drugs when the scientists were away. I don't see how that has anything to do with it being a lab, government or otherwise.

I'm sure that scientists are involved. The guard would not know how to use the equipment without scientists. They were definitely working together and that's pretty funny. I bet they had a lot of fun.

a federal security officer and threw a blast shield 25 feet. The explosion occurred in a small lab at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersburg, Maryland, where the Department of Commerce conducts experiments.

The particular lab that exploded wasn't supposed to be hosting any experiments over the weekend. But NBC Washington sayspseudoephedrine, drain cleaner, and a recipe for meth were all found there, leaving little mystery to what happened. In addition, the officer who was injured had burns on his hands and arms, the type of injuries consistent with a meth cook gone bad

Why wasn't the FDA involved?

Based on what?

You are pretty sure without cause. There is noting that shows they were involved at all (at this juncture - I am not saying that it is impossible) but it sure does look like the security guard was.

What makes you think that the equipment was difficult to use or that he even used it correctly? It did blow up after all.
