Is there a meth lab in your neighborhood?

Or are you living in one? The feds keep a list of buildings used as meth labs. http://www.justice.gov/dea/seizures/index.html

I think they keep the list to prevent horror stories where people are poisoned like this: http://www.cnn.com/2010/US/11/29/couple.buys.meth.house/index.html">Couple's first home is a meth house

<snip>
Priced at $190,000, the house was within their budget and the independent home inspection gave the all-clear.

The couple also received a certificate of approval from the borough inspector stating that a general inspection revealed "no imminent hazards" and the home was "in compliance" with borough codes.

The couple thought they had done everything right. But there was one thing missing from the to-do list for the first-time homebuyers: a test for methamphetamine.

<snip>

The couple complained of having headaches, sore throats and difficulty breathing after moving in -- all symptoms of possible methamphetamine exposure.

It was listed on the DEA's registry after items were found in the house in March 2004.
