FEMA won't stop selling surplus trailers

JACKSON, Miss. - The Federal Emergency Management Agency
will keep selling and donating surplus disaster-relief trailers
despite concerns that they may have unhealthy levels of
formaldehyde, the agency said.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the
Department of Homeland Security's Office of Health Affairs plan
to test the air quality in the trailers.

"Potential buyers/recipients will be fully advised of the concerns
regarding formaldehyde levels in travel trailers," FEMA spokesman
Aaron Walker said Friday in an e-mail message to The Associated
Press.

FEMA drew the ire of Congress last week after documents revealed
that the agency's lawyers discouraged investigating reports that
the trailers had high formaldehyde levels.

1. Someone tell me how this wouldn't qualify as a CRIME

If I were to knowingly sell someone one of these trailers, I'd be arrested and thrown in prison.
