WalMart bathrooms--great places for meth labs

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/03/13/1370687/-Active-meth-lab-found-in-Walmart-bathroom-Not-the-first-time-or-the-fifth-or

A backpack containing an "active meth lab" was found in a Walmart men's room, in Muncie, Indiana last night.

After putting on protective masks and suits, investigators worked to dismantle the lab, removing the chemicals from the store. Police said the men’s and women’s restrooms would have to be thoroughly decontaminated after the discovery.

This is not the first time that a Walmart has been the site of a Walter-White style laboratory. Back in April of 2012, in Alabama.

A shake and bake methamphetamine lab was found Saturday morning in a women's rest room at Walmart in Boaz.

Boaz Police Chief Terry Davis said a cleaning crew found a Nestle water bottle and five empty packets of pseudoephedrine between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. in a stall in the restroom in the front of the store. He said the cleaning crew contacted managers, who contacted police.

In June of 2012, at a St. Louis Walmart, a woman was detained in a holding room for having shoplifted:

While she was detained, she had a 20 ounce soda bottle in her purse that was cooking meth while she was in the holding room.
