A bureaucrat caused outrage amongst an audience in Maury County,
Tennessee when he warned that unfounded complaints about water quality
could be considered an “act of terrorism” under federal laws enforced by
the Department of Homeland Security.
The meeting, which was organized in response to claims
that children had become ill after drinking the odd-tasting water, was
attended by residents, local officials and directors from the Tennessee
Department of Environment and Conservation (TDEC).
Sherwin Smith, deputy director of TDEC’s Division of
Water Resources, stunned the audience when he stated, “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.”
