ATF Targets Amateur Sugar Powered Rockets

chroma writes: "The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is now taking the position that amateur rocket propellant made from ordinary sugar is considered an explosive. This means that experimenters and hobbyists who want to move their rockets to an appropriate field for launching will need a special permit. No word yet on if anyone has actually been busted for having fun with household chemicals."
