MORE INFO
Since I sent this posting out I have had several
emails and phone calls on it.
I have heard from local legislatures, prosecutors
and law officer as well as fire and EMS personnel
hailing the possibilities of this new product.
{Another great product made right here in
Illinois.} This could have the biggest impact on
deterring Meth production and use yet. You could
easily tell a METH PINKIE from a non user. There
would be no hiding from the light [blacklight
that is]. Imagine what a night club with black
lights all over would loo like with all of the
Pink Meth heads.
The possibility of the use of this becoming
mandatory looks like it might be a no brainier
for next session. Our Governor has expressed his
concern over the Meth situation and has favored
anti Meth legislation. This is such minimal cost
to add to the product and would not burden the
farmers with a high additional cost to them for
the end product. The farmers out there are also
at risk, from their tanks being tampered with,
connections being left loose, filled containers
being left behind, etc. Have you ever seen a
anhydrous hose break loose from the tank, it is
not pretty.
Cost verses the benefits of this product have no
comparison. Let your legislatures know how you
feel on making this mandatory usage.
I was questioned about this showing up under
black light and needing electricity for the
light, so I checked things a little further. I�m
a Union Refrigeration Pipefitter by trade. The
Refrigeration business has been using Fluorescent
Leak Detection for almost a decade now. This is
where a fluorescent dye is injected into the
refrigeration system and a blacklight is used to
look for where this dye leaks out. I went to the
Johnstone catalog and found several detection
products. They range from a complete 110volt kit
with a case for appox. $430, to two different
portable rechargeable flashlight type detectors
that ranged from appox. $185 to $282. I then went
to the local Johnstone Supply store here in
Springfield to check out other possibilities. In
talking with store manager Mr. Tim Filbert he had
a new detector to show me. This was the best
product yet. It is a small flashlight type, about
the size of a mini mag light with its own belt
holster. It uses the new LED bulb technology
[five high output LEDs rated at 1000,000 hours
and two AA batteries]. The best part, it only
cost around $70, this makes it pretty well in the
price range for every department and agency out
there. Responders could carry this right with
them to check out any thing suspicious right on
the spot.
So much for my thoughts. I did the leg work, now
it is up to all of us to push to get this into
the end product for our own protection.
