Booze, Guns, Drugs and Trucks


Precedents and Parallels among the following:

Bartenders who are liable when they sell alcohol to obviously drunk patrons; and,  

Gun manufacturers who are held liable for murders committed with their weapons; and,

Truck manufacturers, i.e., Kenworth Corporation, which is known to have sold its entire year's output of 18-wheelers to a Mexican drug dealer for the cross-Mexican <---> US-border transport of cocaine.    
[source: Don Ferrarone, ex-DEA Agent].

Truck manufacturers should be covered by a Federal law which holds them liable for international drug-smuggling.  This would occur when they are found guilty of selling their 18-wheel products to Mexican dealers (or anyone else, for that matter) for cash.  E.g.,

Not that we don't want Kenworth to make a profit.  But what is the difference between the obviousness of $10,000 bank transactions wherein those bankers have to inform the authorities and the cash-for-annual-truck-output of a U.S. manufacturer?

High Alert ! Gettin' It On !

Here is a question someone sent me:

Why do they put pictures of wanted criminals up in the Post Office?
What are we supposed to do -- write to them?

OK, so I post some ideas that are not “actionable.”  But here is a pretty interesting idea that would seem to be one way to "stay on high alert."   (Since the Feds have not provided us with a specific definition of how one gets on and stays on high alert.)

Why don't they put faces of terrorists on postage stamps so mailmen, and the rest of us, nationwide, can look for them?

Seems like that would be a specific way in which we could stay “on high alert.”  The stamps could be thought of as “small Post Office posters.”  Broadcasting the stamps nationwide would be similar to “America’s Most Wanted” broadcasting pictures of criminals and might produce “actionable intelligence” in the same way the TV show does.
