IEDs Are Now Weapons of Mass Destruction
In an article on the recent arrests in New York:
On Wednesday night, they planted one of the mock improvised explosive devices in a trunk of a car outside the temple and two mock bombs in the back seat of a car outside the Jewish center, the authorities said. Shortly thereafter, police officers swooped in and broke the windows on the suspects’ black sport utility vehicle and charged them with conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction within the United States and conspiracy to acquire and use antiaircraft missiles.
I’ve covered this before. According to the law, almost any weapon is a weapon of mass destruction.
From the complaint:
… knowingly did combine, conspire, confederate and agree together and with each other to use a weapon of mass destruction, to wit, a surface-to-air guided missile system and an improvised explosive device (“IED”) containing over 30 pounds of Composition 4 (‘C-4″) military grade plastic explosive material against persons and property within the United States.

Yet a refrigerator full of rotting food, and a bad mix of cleaners, that sent people to the hospital is not a chemical weapon?
