I can think of a few things already considered "hazardous materials" that aren't very expensive. In any case, thanks for the heads up!
When the government is involved, economics go out the window. I'm really not that surprised about this, politicians wouldn't be able to sleep at night if they didn't try to screw something up during the day. As I get older I grow more pessimistic about government day after day. I wish they could learn to stay out of my life and my wallet.
