Question your water supply = Act of Terror?

[Capt Worley PE]

A Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation deputy director warned a group of Maury County residents thatunfounded complaints about water quality could be considered an "act of terrorism."

"We take water quality very seriously. Very, very seriously," said Sherwin Smith, deputy director of TDEC's Division of Water Resources, according to audio recorded by attendees. "But you need to make sure that when you make water quality complaints you have a basis, because federally, if there's no water quality issues, that can be considered under Homeland Security an act of terrorism."

Joycelene Johns, 68, has lived in Mount Pleasant off and on for about 30 years and has put up with cloudy, odd-tasting water for years.

"I'll drink it," she said, "but I pray before the first sip."

While this is funny, being labeled a "Terrorist" means you might not get a lawyer or judge.

You might just be GITMO'd.

BTW, NSA is watching your replies.

Don't be a terrorist!

I've heard, but haven't confirmed it for myself, that the 2012 IRC requires new homes to be tied to public water, if available. If you want a well, f you!
