* The University of Minnesota was seeking more "specialists" to work on its three-year, $390,000 program to set an "odor emissions rating system" for regulating the state's 35,000 animal feedlots, according to an August Minneapolis Star Tribune story. Having judges, or government officials, go sniff the feedlot apparently would give insufficient due process of law; rather, a panel of sniffers will develop objective standards on the types of odors and their strength. Already 35 people are employed and have begun sniffing the nearly-200 chemical components of cow and pig manure in order to categorize them for the formal state stench test.
This is, pardon me, a minor issue compared to other "smellist" legislation. Here in the People's Republic of Kalifornia, some areas have been declared "fragrance free." It's a crime to enter these fragrance-free zones with banned smells.
