I heard about an Illinois company that has developed a pink dye (call Glo Tell) that can be purchased and added to anhydrous ammonia (AA). Apparently the idea is to deter thieves from stealing the AA to make meth because they'll have pink all over them. The stuff is even visible under ultraviolet light up to 72 hours after it is washed off. And if they do steal it their meth is pink and not very good quality. The dye costs $6 an ounce. They don't say how much is needed to get the real pink effect but I imagine it is a lot. Questions:
1) Is this a big enough problem that farmers would buy the dye? 2) Wouldn't the farmer get pink all over him/her by handling the AA during their normal fertilizing process? 3) Does this sound like a really expensive gimmick? I don't use AA for anything nor do I know anyone that does so I am curious to hear what you all think about this dye.
