Washington-Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) reports that all 99 counties in Iowa now have been provided with tank locks for anhydrous ammonia tanks. The project began in 2002 with $200,000 to buy tank locks in areas with the highest number of meth labs and has since expanded, allowing law enforcement to secure thousands of locks at a cost of about $45 each. Harkin also says Iowa has the strictest pseudoephedrine control law in the country.
