It can be used to make meth. I just read the article posted by the OP. Apparently, the law is partly because of meth and partly because of people using these products to assault other people by burning them.
The idiots in politics appear to be multiplying. IL has a new law that requires an ID and registration to buy drain cleaner.
The stupidity of these Illinois lawmakers is beyond comprehension. Why stop here? Why not register hammers, knives, baseball bats and garden shears. Do these idiots really not realize how stupid they are?
Maybe we need a new law that requires all politicians to be sterilized... then at least they will stop breeding.
Buying a bottle of Drano won’t be the same in Illinois beginning Sunday.
A new state law requires customers purchasing products containing sodium hydroxide, or lye, and other corrosive chemicals to show a legitimate photo ID and to write their name, address and date of birth. And the store clerk will log the time and date of purchase.
Intrusive? Illinois lawmakers said Friday they agree that regulating drain cleaners and other products is needed to protect the public from those who may use them to harm.
“The fact of the matter is there are evil people in the world who will abuse the most normal, everyday household products for sinister aims,” Illinois Rep. Rich Morthland, R-Cordova, said.

I used to make Homemade Soap, so I needed Lye. Has to be pure lye. Hard to find in my area except for one hardware shop. Most draino and such has I think aluminum mixed in to combat Meth Labs using it.
Here in Tennessee, to combat Meth labs, not only do they check your ID just for sinus meds that contain psudopedrine (probably misspelled I know) , it is entered into a computer tracking system that keeps track of when, where and how much you buy and can flag your from buying it. On top of that, new law is basically you have to convince the Pharmacy you need it if you want it.
So If my chronic sinusitis kicks in, I am just eating hot wings instead of begging to be able to spend my money on some sudafed.
I don't agree with the law but that doesn't mean I don't see the reasoning.
