You assume people who would operate a meth lab and or use meth think the way you would. The criminal mind is unique. The criminal mind on drugs adds further to the problem.

A first grader could predict that.

I have attended a few seminars on the meth lab problem conducted by law enforcement officials. During one presentation, he used humor to illustrate the obvious but extreme risks being taken by people who "cook" meth. He showed pictures of the accidents. He also, showed how easily it was to follow the trail to their labs. I am not going to be able to educate you on the issue - but if you are inclined I would suggest you look into it. It is not an urban issue or a California issue, there is a very unique culture to this, with some similarities to moonshine.
So, again you can go off on me and make assumptions that I am clueless or you could take an open minded approach. Your choice has been made clear, your mind seems to be made up. Have fun with that.

When you look at Missouri statistics you will see a spike. At one point they changed the way they report the activity. Law enforcement officials will tell you that "official" numbers a vastly under reported. One problem is that it is very easy to get everything needed to start a lab at the local hardware store, and those who are "smart" don't blow their houses up - but a good investigator can find the labs given time and resources to follow-up.
