You will find that most are leary now talking about hydroponics as well
as where to get supplies for it, due to a administration that has
allowed the collecting of personal data about anyone (especially solo
growers) purchasing the items. In case some on the list doesn't know
it, this is another avenue the p act covers, and the war on drugs since
hydroponics are used for pot growing. Anyone that purchases from one to
several items of hydroponics and uses a cc or check has thier info sent
to the government even if all you grow are hot house tomatoes.

And if being used for legal purposes, you care, why?

If the equipment is being used for legal purposes, why should you
be placed on a gubmint list of criminal suspects?

1) It's NOT a list of criminal suspects. It's a list of people
who have purchased equipment known to be used for criminal
purposes.

2) Want to purchase a still? Just go to Sears and they will
sell you one since it's perfectly legal to distill water.
But they turn over a list of buyers to the ATF periodically.

3) Go buy a gun. You need a permit and the gun has to be registered.

SO WHAT!

If your local librarian is a friend, ask them about what they're
required to report nowadays.

(If they're not already a friend, you'll only raise suspicion, which
they're required to report.)

Strange times indeed.
