[NPPD DHS 6 CFR p 31; DID: 2008-0076; RIN 1601-AA52; AMMONIUM NITRATE SECURITY PROGRAM; RFC:] Ammonium Nitrate, Fuel Oil, ANFO, DHS Incendiaries The applicability of ANFO explosives to disruptive or troubling pursuits is well known, such as the situation chronicalled here: ANFO was used in a prominant and well known terrorist-like situation: ATF(E) Special Agent Nina Delgadillo initiated a widespread media campaigne in response to their inability to find a large supply of Ammonium Nitrate ANFO and NON-EL (corporate name, "non-electric") explosive line charge detonators called "EZ-DRIFTER(s)" stolen from a bunker at Truckee, NV. Unable to get their Bearings for over three weeks of continuous mass media coverage, ATF(E) made a more direct request for public information which we responded to after blatant prodding by an unidentified influence. I reviewed the situation publically described by DHS and noted some extreme correlations with other similar situations of concern at that same time. I made multiple repeated efforts to contact the authorities directly who were overwhelmed due to a globally announced high dollar reward publicised on national news and called and emailed the state police hotline set up for this and their indicated ATF contacts, none of whome responded nor paid attention nor requested additional specific information on the issue. I called the ATF hotline phone number as published, talked to a number of ATF specialists in multiple departments and escallations none of whome were able to address the issue, and was instructed to call "Dublin". I sent email and sms messages and left phone voice messages overnight for the Federal Police and counter-terrorism units at Dublin, Ireland with comprehensive information on the situation and noted the urgency as the DHS had again failed to handle their own designed situation and the timeframe was critical. A fishing boat was intercepted in or around Bene
