Terrorist Attacks Lead to Extra Work at Deseret Industries
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- Deseret Industries and other used-clothing stores
have been asked by the Utah Department of Public Safety to strip all badges
and insignia from used police, fire and military uniforms donated before
selling them. The department has also asked dry cleaners to require
identification before returning uniforms to customers. "We don't want
someone with evil or destructive intentions to infiltrate an otherwise
secure building," said department Deputy Commissioner Earl Morris. LDS
spokesman Dale Bills said "all stores have been instructed to double-check
donated police or military uniforms to ensure that badges, insignia and any
identifying markings are removed before they are sold or used for
humanitarian purposes."
